  1. QoLT project review plan • Goal: • a concrete response to the Site Visit Team’s criticisms that we don’t have processes for selecting new projects or evaluating current projects • Approach: • each research cluster leader does an internal evaluation • for each individual project, address: • NSF’s two criteria of scientific merit and broader impact • selected metrics from our evaluation chart (at least one impact, one relevance, and execution quality) • for the cluster as a whole, address all metrics in our evaluation chart • a) research leaders & QoLT directors discuss the evaluations internally;b) leaders propose fate of projects (continue/don’t; budget up/down/same; scope change/not)c) research leaders propose additional (new) projects • ITERATE: • QoLT Directors discuss with SAB and IPAB; AB’s provide recommendations • feedback to research leaders • research leaders propose next year portfolio to Directors
