Last month the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued its FY2021 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Research and Development. NRC is now soliciting volunteers to serve as technical grant proposal reviewers. Each reviewer will be assigned up to eight proposals to review (depending on the number of proposals received) and will be expected to participate on a review panel teleconference. Reviewers will evaluate and rate proposals against specific review criteria outlined in the FOA. All reviewers must certify no conflicts of interest for the proposals they will evaluate. For planning purposes, the tentative time frame for the review process is late May to early June. They ask that only serious and dedicated individuals volunteer, as there will be a tight review schedule.

NRC is specifically seeking at least two individuals from each institution as a volunteer to serve as a reviewer. Please note, just because an individual submitted a proposal does not preclude that person from reviewing other proposals submitted by a different institution. Individuals interested in serving as a reviewer should contact Program Manager Nancy Hebron-Israel, senior grants administrative specialist, no later than 10 May 2021 and include your technical area of expertise. If there might be a perceived conflict of interest, please provide that information as well. Every attempt will be made to assign proposals according to technical area.
