Thank you for your interest in reviewing for the  Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program in NSF/EDU/DRL.

We are working to ensure that we assemble review panels that are diverse with respect to expertise in informal STEM education, demographics, career levels, various informal learning settings, and NSF experience (i.e., those new to NSF as well as those with NSF experience).

Please complete this form with as much detail as you are comfortable sharing. We appreciate your interest.

Other NSF programs requesting names of potential reviewers or specialists in particular fields may also be given information from this form. Except for these purposes, this information will not be disclosed except as part of statistical reports or in a form that would not allow the identification of individuals.
