Hi,
I got my RFE in hand yesterday. They have listed the 6 criteria, and acknowledged receipt of documents for most of them. I understand most of them, but still had a few questions:
(a) The record contains evidence of beneficiary's participation as a judge of others' work in the field. Please submit documentation of the criteria for selection as a judge, panelist, reviewer, etc. Please submit documentary evidence to establish how the beneficiary's participation is uncommon or otherwise noteworthy relative to others who participate in similar activities.
A little confusing. I reviewed some papers for a good journal, and I thought that was simply the criterion. Does someone need to be an "outstanding" reviewer as well?
(b) Service acknowledges receipt of several letters regarding the beneficiary's original contribution in the field. Now, please submit documentary evidence (not additional letters) which corroborate the statements made in the letters. Be sure to include any articles written about the beneficiary's contributions and/or other documentation that substantiates the claims made in those letters.
I submitted 7 or 8 letters, and most of them were from people I had not worked with. They had cited my work in their papers (mostly as a reference... there was not much dicussion about the details of my work).
In the letters, they praised my work and mentioned that it is very useful and important research. How should I respond to this? How do I substantiate their statements that my research is useful, etc?
(c) The record contains evidence of the awards and prizes. Now please submit documentary evidence about the criteria for the award/prize, etc...
I assume I need to prove that the award is an international one (this is true), and that all researchers are eligible, not just students. Actually, this award was given by the funding agency, so all researchers funded by them are eligible.
Thanks a lot for your help.
