# Notes from Peer Review Session

## Proposal 1
Sina was the scribe. Rhett, Desiree, and myself were the
reviewers.

## Proposal 2
Dana is the leader
1. Goal is to understand alloy structure of thermally grown
   oxide (TGO) for Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) work

2. Optimize platininum modified aluminum coatings.

3. Measure mechanical properties of TGO

Covers intellectual merit well. They are very clear about
how they're going to get there, why they'll be successful. 

Broader impacts okay. Doesn't really get specific other than
new engines can use them.

Desiree was reviewer 1.
Gives 4.
Very detailed proposal. Objectives were very good
intellectual merit: they had teamed up with legit people.
ORNL, NASA, Rolls Royce
Clear what they wanted to do with the gas turbine
performance. They didn't really expand on how that's
actually going to go.

Weaknesses for intellectual merit. 
Why do we care? What's the point?

Broader impact. Not a lot of meat there. Would train 9 PhDs.
Huge project.

Melle is reviewer 2.
Durability and something of thermal barrier coatings
Well supported by people from NASA and rolls royce.

Intellectual merit is strong
PI team has extensive experience with this stuff

Scope might be broad. Could be more defined
Huge project. 9 students.

Rhett is reviewer 3.
No mechanisms for success
they seem to know what they're talking about
set aside money for publications... but no real explanation
Imapct: *take a second to respond*. Shared impact of
lifetime of turbines. That's basically the impact of any
turbine lifecycle. No real impact.
Scope is huge. 5 year project and seems like a lot. They're
doing a lot of work (27 alloys??) Concerns about getting it
all done. Gives it a 4. Likes oxidation.
