Temporal Changes in Biological Community Structure at Nascent Hydrothermal Vents on the EPR Crest

P.I.：理查德·卢茨提案编号：9529819 请记住，该计划在个人奖励/不奖励决定中考虑次要因素，查看数字评级统计数据仍然是有益的，可以对可用资金的竞争水平有所了解。至于定期评审小组，目前的获奖率约为收到的建议书总数的15%。我们最近作出努力，让评审员和小组清楚地了解资金竞争的一般水平，希望对个人的评价 建议和歧视 提案 将 在一定程度上受到这些信息的影响。在这个小组中，50%的提案的平均数字邮件评论排名非常好或更好（在1=优秀和5=差的量表上约2.0）。随着研究成本的增加，（以及提案中要求增加的美元）、作出长期奖励的指示、向常设小组提交的提案数量一直很大，而且没有增加用于支持未被确定为战略举措的领域的研究的资金，本计划期望我们将继续面对不愉快的现实，即没有推荐许多重要的、有价值的和高评价的提案来获得基金会的支持。

P.I.: LUTZ, Richard A. Proposal #: 9529819 Keeping in mind that the program weighs secondary considerations in the individual award/no-award decisions, it is still informative to look at the numerical rating statistics to have some feeling for the level of competition for available funds. For the regular panels, award rates are currently about 15% of the total proposals received. We have made recent efforts to let the reviewers and panels know clearly what the general level of competition for funds is like, expecting that evaluations of individuals proposals and discrimination among proposal will be influenced to a degree by this information. In this panel, 50% of the proposals had average numerical mail review rankings of very good or better (~2.0 on a scale where 1=Excellent and 5=Poor). With the pressures of increased costs of doing research (and increased dollar requests in proposals), the directive to make longer-term awards, the consistently large number of proposals submitted to the regular panels, and with no increases in funds to support research in areas not identified as strategic initiatives, the Program expects that we will continue to face the unpleasant reality of not recommending many important, worthy and high-rated proposals for support by the Foundation.
