Associate Professor Perla Weaver participated as an NSF reviewer in November 2019. The NSF merit review process is designed to provide peer advice to program officers on the merits of the proposals and constructive comments for the proposers. Participation in the peer review process allows faculty to learn firsthand about the NSF merit review process, gain insight on strengths as well common problems of proposals, increase awareness of relevant field initiatives and collaborations, and network with NSF program officers and faculty from other institutions. As the NSF continues to increase its call for Community College participation, Professor Weaver values the opportunity to provide a Community College perspective to review panels and learn more about the NSF grant process.
