1: Recommandations
This committee is essential because the broad scientific base represented by the division transcends the ability of NSF staff
to evaluate proposals thoroughly so that outside advice from practicing scientists is essential both for fair peer evaluation
of proposals and for effective scientific long-range planning. The essence of the peer review system is that those scientists
most knowledgeable about a field be the judge of the worthiness and importance of a proposal in the field. This requires the
division to consult with many members of the scientific community to insure fair and reasonable evaluation of a proposal.
