NASA launches new peer review system and fellowship program
NASA just announced two new projects to overhaul how it evaluates research and to attract fresh talent. First, it's rolling out a more anonymous (double-blind) peer review process to improve fairness and pick bolder scientific ideas. Second, it's launching the Genesis Mission Fellowships—ten grants for PhD students focused on both superintelligence and science or engineering. Recipients will tackle NASA missions and work in NASA labs.
- New metascience effort to improve research review methods
- Expanding double-blind proposal evaluations for grant funding
- Ten Genesis Fellows to combine AI and science research at NASA
- Fellowships based on successful past student program
