On October 7, 2020, at 3 pm EDT, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate will host a webinar to discuss the implementation of dual-anonymous peer review for the Habitable Worlds Program (E.4 of ROSES-2020). In dual-anonymous peer review, not only are proposers unaware of the identity of reviewers, but the reviewers do not have explicit knowledge of the proposing teams and institutions during the scientific evaluation of the proposal.

The webinar will: (1) discuss the motivation for switching to dual-anonymous peer review, (2) describe important changes to proposal writing to be compliant with dual-anonymous peer review, and (3) explain how dual-anonymous peer reviews work in Habitable Worlds.

In advance of the webinar, questions may be submitted and upvoted on at:  https://arc.cnf.io/sessions/zazz/#!/dashboard

The webinar will be broadcast live via WebEx. Connection details follow:
