The Role and Influence of the US National Science Foundation's Program Officers in Reviewing and Awarding Grants.
McCullough, James
Higher Education, v28 n1 p85-94 Jul 1994
The National Science Foundation practice of using scientifically qualified program directors, some from university laboratories, to make grant-giving recommendations independent of external peer reviewers is compared with the practice of other agencies. A recent policy of allowing program directors to make some small grants without external peer review is examined. (Author/MSE)
