DIRECTORATE FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Division of Undergraduate Education December16, 2014 To Whom it May Concern, The National Science Foundation sincerely appreciates the valuable contribution made by Phillip Davis, who participated in our recent panel review for the Advanced Technological Education Program held in Arlington, VA. The Foundation’s staff makes difficult decisions in funding grant proposals. The individual advice of scientists, technicians, engineers, mathematicians, and educators is essential to making informed choices. These reviewers’ comments are also sent, without attribution, to proposers. They provide valuable peer advice that helps shape funded projects and assists unsuccessful proposers in refining their ideas for possible future submissions. Suggestions contributed by panel members also influence program policies and procedures. The experience of serving on a review panel is a valuable professional activity for the participants that benefits both them and their organizations. We are grateful to the reviewers and their organizations that support this important activity for the nation. Sincerely,

Susan R. Singer, Ph.D. V. Celeste Carter, Ph.D. Division Director ATE Lead Program Director Division of Undergraduate Education Division of Undergraduate Education National Science Foundation National Science Foundation
