Task 4. The contractor shall ensure that all eligibility requirements have been met by the applicant prior to evaluation. Evaluation of each application should be based on all available evidence of merit, including, but not limited to: Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), undergraduate transcripts, personal statements, and reference evaluation forms. Applications that are incomplete and/or do not meet minimum eligibility requirements should not be made available to panel members for evaluation. The contractor shall successfully solicit the willing participation of high caliber evaluators from academia, government (DoD and other federal agencies), and industry who have doctoral degrees from the science and engineering disciplines (S&E). The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that evaluation panels include a minimum of three (3) DoD (AF, Army, & Navy) S&Es per research discipline area. Selection of qualified evaluators is a vital component in the successful operation of the program. While the ARL relies on the contractor to identify and convene appropriate panels of technical experts, the agencies reserve the right to review and approve recommended panelists. The contractor shall arrange and coordinate discipline-specific panel meetings to review and evaluate applications. After a rank order listing of the applicants is submitted per discipline, ARL will make final selections for bestowal of Student recipient awards.
