<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">At the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the program directors (PDs) ensure a fair merit review process for funding recommendations. To enable this, we rely on the expertise of our colleagues in the
field, who provide critical feedback to the NSF PDs. We are looking for potential candidates to serve as either ad-hoc or panel reviewers. We encourage researchers with a wide expertise in Aeronomy and related geospace to help us with the merit evaluation
and play a crucial role in this process. We encourage early careers to apply since this is a great learning opportunity for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you are interested and do not have a pending proposal submitted either to the NSF Aeronomy (Geospace Cluster/GC program), or CEDAR solicitation for this year’s competition, or do not plan to submit a proposal
in the coming months to Aeronomy (GC), please send the following information to me (<a href="mailto:sraizada@nsf.gov" target="_blank">sraizada@nsf.gov</a>) by March 27<sup>th</sup>, 2026 for consideration.
