NASA Research and Education Support Services (NRESS) is seeking persons
willing to serve as online reviewers for the <b>Global Climate Change Education
(GCCE) NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH08ZNE005N</b>. Peer review is
a critical component of the decision-making process for awarding projects
under this NRA. It assists in identifying high-quality projects by engaging
individuals with different backgrounds, perspectives and areas of expertise
in the review process. <br>
<br>
The GCCE NRA is designed to improve the quality of global climate change
and Earth system science education at the elementary, secondary, and undergraduate
levels. Each funded proposal is expected to take advantage of NASA’s
unique contributions in climate science to enhance students’ academic
experiences and/or to improve educators’ abilities to engage and stimulate
their students.<br>
<br>
Detailed information regarding proposal requirements and evaluation criteria
are contained in the NRA. This document can be viewed through the NASA
Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES)
