Outcomes of Co-Review in the National Science Foundation's Ecosystem Studies Program

Most core programs in the Biological Sciences Directorate in the National Science Foundation (NSF) reflect academic disciplines that are common in the higher education system in the United States. This facilitates review of discipline-specific proposals. Proposals that integrate topics that are relevant to more than one core program may be handled by co-review, a process by which more than one program evaluates the merits of a proposal.
