How are RPES panels put together?

RPES is a "schedule-driven" system. Each fiscal year, the RPE Staff develops a draft schedule of cases to be reviewed, and tentatively selects Chairs and Peer Group scientists to serve on each panel. The schedule and tentative selections are approved by the Area Directors prior to implementation, thus helping to ensure adequate case/panelist matches.

Newly appointed panelists and Chairs are trained before being permitted to serve. Seven people serve on mandatory review panels. The Chair and Personnel Representative are randomly selected.

Since panels always review cases from two different Peer Groups, peer scientists are selected from those same Peer Groups--three from one group and two from another. In addition to membership in the Peer Group, some of the selected scientists usually come from the same occupational disciplines as the cases under review (i.e. , Agronomists, Entomologists, Chemists, etc.).

If Research Leader cases are to be reviewed, at least one Research Leader will be ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
