IIS is Looking for Panelists and Reviewers
The Information & Intelligent Systems (IIS) research community is very fortunate this year, as the US National Science Foundation and the Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) Directorate have several IIS-relevant funding opportunities (calls for proposals). This also means that we need to find many panelists and reviewers that would be able and willing to review these proposals.
Panelists usually review a set of proposals in a 1-2 day panel meeting that meets at NSF. Panelists write a review for 8-10 proposals prior to coming to the meeting, try to get familiar with all proposals in the group, and then proposals are evaluated at the panel meeting.
NOTE: Non-US panelists may only be researchers from organizations that do NOT receive support from their governments, e.g., only private universities or non-government labs, industry, etc.
Reviewers are specially selected experts whose review will complement the panel evaluation, as it is not always possible to have several experts for every proposal among the panel members. Preferably, the expert reviews are submitted prior to the panel meeting, so that these reviews are a part of the panel evaluation.
NOTE: There are no affiliation restrictions for non-US reviewers.
NSF is interested in engaging a diverse pool of researchers as panelists or reviewers, including academic, non-academic, non-US researchers, and underrepresented groups.

NOTE: If you submitted a proposal to a Program Solicitation in a particular category (e.g., IIS: RI-Small), you cannot review proposals submitted to that Program Solicitation in that category, but can review proposals submitted to that Program Solicitation in other categories (e.g., RI-Large, RI-Medium, III-Small, III-Medium, III-Large, etc.).
Please place Y in front of panels you can participate in (provided there are no conflicts of interest, there are proposals in your areas of expertise, etc.)
Please place #, the maximum number of proposals (e.g., 3) you could provide an expert review for, to be used in the given panel (provided there are no conflicts of interest, the proposals are in your areas of expertise, etc.)
