Dear ITR PI:

This message is being sent to all PIs who have submitted ITR preproposals
for the over $500K competition.  The proposals are now being reviewed in
preparation for the panel meetings next week, Feb. 7-11.  We will be
notifying you of the outcome of those panel meetings by e-mail during the
week of Feb. 21.  At that time you will receive an e-mail with a
recommendation encouraging or discouraging the submission of a full
proposal.  It will be accompanied by a panel summary and by the reviews of
your preproposal.

As you know, there is also a separate competition for proposals requesting
less than $500K.  We have received 1800 letters of intent for this
competition.  We anticipate about 1500 proposals will be submitted during
the week of Feb. 14.  We are planning to organize 32 panels, with 15
panelists each, to review these proposals.  We would like to remind you that
if you, or perhaps one or more of your co-PIs, will not be submitting a
proposal to the less than $500K competition, you are eligible to serve as a
panelist.  Panels will be held on the weeks of April 10, May1, and May 8.
We will have at least 10 panels per week with 5 being held in Arlington on
Monday and Tuesday, and 5 being held in San Francisco on Thursday and
Friday.  We would surely appreciate your assistance.  If you are willing to
participate, DO NOT reply to this e-mail; instead, fill out our on-line
registration form at http://www.itr.nsf.gov/panelists .  This will help us
to identify your expertise, and the dates of your availability.  Please
share this information with your co-PIs with other colleagues in your
department who may also be interested in participating in this activity.  We
need highly qualified experts in all areas of ITR to help with the review
process.

Thank you,

Richard L. Hilderbrandt
