From page 56...
... This group of invited visitors offered, as individuals rather than as representatives of the NRC panels, observations that were deemed valuable by ARL management and that led directly to modification of the program scope and characterization in the final call for proposals. The selection of experts from a known and highly credible set of peer reviewers was a key factor in the successful planning activity described here -- the experts were already familiar with those elements of the intramural research that would be impacted by the planned program; they knew the overall mission, structure, and operational procedures of the ARL and could assess how the new proposed activities might fit.
