GEO Education and Diversity Committee of Visitors Meeting, September 10-12, 2003
COMMITTEE OF VISITORS
NSF relies on the judgment of external experts to
maintain high standards of program management, to provide advice for continuous
improvement of NSF performance, and to ensure openness to the research
and education community served by the Foundation. Committee of Visitor
(COV) reviews provide NSF with external expert judgments in two areas:
(1) assessments of the quality and integrity of program operations and
program-level technical and managerial matters pertaining to proposal
decisions; and (2) comments on how the outputs and outcomes generated
by awardees have contributed to the attainment of NSF’s mission
and strategic outcome goals.
