Subject: Subcommittee: request for paper reviewers

To all TRB health and transportation subcommittee friends,

We invite you to become potential reviewers of one or more papers received by TRB this summer that are assigned to the health and transportation subcommittee (ADD50-01). If you are interested in reviewing research papers for potential publication or presentation at the 2013 Annual Meeting in January, please respond to a brief questionnaire that helps us match papers submitted for presentation with your expertise. Visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dFV5T2doSHBXcWRqXzVVaGdGNUxXWHc6MQ to complete the questionnaire.

Being a reviewer of papers is a really great way to get involved with the subcommittee. There is no guarantee that you will be selected as a reviewer this time around, as it depends on a number of factors, including the number of papers received and the subject of the papers in relation to your areas of expertise. However, having an updated survey on file increases your opportunity to be a reviewer both now and into the future, and helps the Committee broaden the potential pool of reviewers.

The target date for your completion of the survey is July 31, 2012. Due to the importance of the paper review process, all friends of ADD50-01 are kindly requested to complete the survey.

The key milestones are identified below. Paper reviews happen between Aug 15 and Sep 15.

·         August 1- TRB paper submission deadline

·         August 8 - TRB will assign papers to Committees/Subcommittees and notify chairs and paper review managers

·         August 8-15 - Paper review managers assign papers for review

·         September 15 - Paper reviews are due

·         October 1 - Deadline for having ALL workshops, presentations, etc. input into TRB's system

Thank you!
