Underrepresented minority participation in review panels is strongly encouraged. The panels convened were composed of representatives from academia, industry and the federal government and represented a wide range of disciplines relevant to their particular panel. The Office's goal was to achieve the correct mixture of panelists in direct proportion to the science to be reviewed.
The scope and objectives are to advise the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the merit of proposals requesting financial support of research and research-related activities. The panel will review proposals submitted to NSF under the purview of the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI). The duties and responsibilities are to review and evaluate proposals, which may include site visits, and provide written recommendations on proposals as part of the selection process for awards.

The NSF mission is set out in the NSF Act of 1950 authorizes and directs the Agency to initiate and support: basic scientific research and research fundamental to the ingineering process; and science and engineering education programs at all levels and in all fields of science and engineering. The invlovement of knowledgeable peers from outside the Foundation in the review of proposals in the keystone of NSF's proposal review system. Their judgements of the extend to which proposals address the merit review criteria are vital for informing NSF staff and influencing funding recommendations.

There are no other formal/informal committees with the varied expertise required to recommend on the multi-institutional or multi-disciplinary, proposals submitted to this Office. It is this multi-disciplinary aspect of the proposals and panels that allows for comprehensive review and recommendations. In all cases, the panelists complement each other thus providing the skill and knowledge for an impartial, inclusive report.
