Description of Expert Groups
The Expert Groups (EGs) represent areas in which initiative proposals will be evaluated. This can include, but is not limited to: how likely a given initiative is to achieve its stated goals in the EG’s area of expertise; the extent to which those goals represent needed scientific or technological progress; how the given initiative advances US leadership and relates to the global context; and the technical feasibility of the initiative.
