This award assists the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Division at NSF in achieving NSF's mission "to promote the progress of science" by improving the capacity of the peer review process to recognize and appropriately evaluate proposals that advance discovery. The goals of this project are to evaluate methods based on rigorous social science research that (1) ameliorate bias and mitigate its effects in evaluating non-traditional scholars and scholarship by addressing cultural norms, group dynamics, and the efficacy of awareness training; and (2) contribute to a more robust agenda for rewarding innovation in engineering research. The project consists of two phases. Phase One (Key Concepts Phase) will address how cognitive bias, group thing, cultural norms, panel dynamics and leadership, the dynamics of conflict and conflict resolution, and academic psyches and peer evaluation pressures of academia impact merit review processes. Phase Two (Experiential Phase) will apply the Phase One learning outcomes to a mock panel review experience. The study will identify leading indicators of impact to inform future development of the peer review process.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项帮助美国国家科学基金会的民用、机械和制造创新部门通过提高同行评审过程的能力来识别和适当评估推进发现的提案，从而实现美国国家科学基金会“促进科学进步”的使命。该项目的目标是评估基于严谨的社会科学研究的方法，这些方法：(1)通过解决文化规范、群体动态和意识培训的有效性，改善偏见并减轻其在评估非传统学者和奖学金方面的影响；(2)为奖励工程研究中的创新做出更强有力的贡献。该项目包括两个阶段。第一阶段（关键概念阶段）将讨论认知偏见、群体事物、文化规范、小组动态和领导、冲突和冲突解决的动态、学术心理和学术界同行评估压力如何影响绩效审查过程。第二阶段（体验阶段）将把第一阶段的学习成果应用到模拟小组评审经验中。该研究将确定影响的主要指标，为同行评审过程的未来发展提供信息。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
