2024-06-10 NSF - OpenCI Meeting Agenda & Summary

Agenda/Notes

1. Updates from NSF (5 minutes)

   1. They are open to hearing about what parts of the review were helpful, what were inefficient

   2. Tom: Seemed like review process was very consuming - they don’t want it to be distracting from what we should be doing

   3. Open to suggestions

      1. Discussed other options

      2. Separate evaluations leads to interpretation that we are less integrated than we are

      3. There would be more interaction between teams if we had a consolidated review of some kind

   4. Suggestion from Tom - What if NSF was to take an outcome that is part of the program - and review that topic as a whole across all teams?

   5. Panel review is helpful because panel does provide advice - but the advice is related to what was presented to them

   6. Ask the panelists their opinion of what they would want to ask of the entire team - and then they could create more informed feedback

2. What have we heard from stakeholders? (5 minutes)

   1. Quarterly Meeting last week

      1. Winona presented the RP survey to the RP meeting

   2. Questionnaire about Quarterly Meeting will be going out - will report on survey next week

      1. informal feedback is good
         

3. PY3 Quarterly Meeting Supplement (10 minutes)

   1. Do we want to ask for a supplement? Lavanya would like to start the process if so

   2. Will NSF entertain a proposal?

   3. Sharon - it would be good to see how the meetings went - some kind of quantitative analysis on how effective in person ones are in comparison with the Virtual one we just had. How we have learned to make the in person ones better. Will it be just leadership or whole team? This will all need to be discussed.
