I have a somewhat related field of study question. . . I am a woman in an engineering program, however my research may better fall under a geosciences category. I am a bit torn between getting reviewers who will have more background in my field and having the added woman in engineering - higher award rate - bump. I assume reviewers in engineering will still be able to asses my proposal decently since I am in an engineering program and have worked as an engineer, but do I risk getting worse reviews if my proposal is a bit outside the norm for the category? Thanks!
