The NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) sponsors independent peer reviews of its education materials. The purpose of these reviews is to ensure that education products distributed by NASA are of high quality and meet rigorous standards, as well as to provide feedback to product developers from educators and scientists. The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) - a non-profit education organization - conducts the reviews for NASA. Products are included for both formal (elementary-college) and informal education.
IGES has conducted the reviews of NASA Earth science products beginning in 1995 and space science education products beginning in 2000. Since March 2007 there has been one review process covering both SMDs.
