The National Science Foundation (NSF) is holding a meeting for the Proposal Review Panel for Materials Research on May 19, 2025, as part of a virtual site visit to the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the University of Michigan. The meeting will be partly open to the public, with sessions including presentations, a poster session, and a closed executive session to discuss proprietary and confidential information. Anyone interested in attending the open sessions can request a virtual meeting link via email. The purpose of the meeting is to evaluate the program's performance and progress, and provide recommendations for improvement.
Simple Explanation
The National Science Foundation is having an online meeting to check how well a research group is doing, and some parts of the meeting can be watched by everyone, but other parts are secret so they can talk about private stuff.
