NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Request for Recommendations for Membership on 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 name of the
submitting individual, the organization or the affiliation providing
the member nomination, the name of the recommended individual, the
recommended individual's curriculum vita, 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 membership recommendation for any of the NSF
scientific and technical Federal advisory committees, please send your
recommendation to the appropriate committee contact person listed in
the chart below.
ADDRESSES: The mailing address for the National Science Foundation is
2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Web links to individual committee information may be found on the
NSF website: 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 recommendations on
specific topics including: Astronomy and astrophysics; environmental
research and education; equal opportunities in science and engineering;
cyberinfrastructure; international science and engineering; 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.

\1\ Federally registered lobbyists are not eligible for
appointment to these Federal advisory committees.
