NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Request of Recommendations for Membership for Directorate and
Office Advisory Committees
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) requests recommendations
for membership on its scientific and technical Federal advisory
committees. Recommendations should consist of the submitting person's
or organization's name and affiliation, the name of the recommended
individual, the recommended individual's curriculum vita (2-5 pages),
an expression of the individual's interest in serving, and the
following recommended individual's contact information: Employment
address, telephone number, FAX number, and email address. Self
recommendations are accepted. If you would like to make a
recommendation for membership on any of our committees, please send
your recommendation to the committee contact person listed below.
ADDRESSES: The mailing address for the National Science Foundation is
4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22230.
Web links to individual committee information may be found on NSF
Web site: NSF Advisory Committees.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each Directorate and Office has an external
advisory committee that typically meets twice a year to review and
provide advice on program management; discuss current issues; and
review and provide advice on the impact of policies, programs, and
activities in the disciplines and fields encompassed by the Directorate
or Office. In addition to Directorate and Office advisory committees,
NSF has several committees that provide advice and recommendation on
specific topics: astronomy and astrophysics; environmental research and
education; equal opportunities in science and engineering; direction,
development, and enhancements of innovations; advanced
cyberinfrastructure; international and integrative activities; and
business and operations.
A primary consideration when formulating committee membership is
recognized knowledge, expertise, or demonstrated ability.\1\ Other
factors that may be considered are balance among diverse institutions,
regions, and groups underrepresented in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics. Committee members serve for varying term
lengths, depending on the nature of the individual committee. Although
we welcome the recommendations we receive, we regret that NSF will not
be able to acknowledge or respond positively to each person who
contacts NSF or has been recommended. NSF intends to publish a similar
notice to this on an annual basis. NSF will keep recommendations active
for 12 months from the date of receipt.
