Research and Equipment Development Grade Evaluation
The USGS Office of Science Quality and Integrity—in conjunction with the Office of Human Resources—is responsible for administering the USGS Research Grade Evaluation (RGE), Equipment Development Grade Evaluation (EDGE), and Senior Scientist (ST) review processes.
The summer 2024 submission deadline is May 15!
Packages submitted for review in the 2024 summer cycle are due May 15. Check below for more information on putting together a package. You can also attend one of our many training sessions!
