Our Mission
Encouraging merit-based recommendations and nominations in the space and physics communities by providing resources and reviews.
Our Standards
Equitable Letters for Space and Physics (ELSP) strives to provide a welcoming environment for people to learn and grow. We are governed by a code of conduct.
Submitting Letters to Us
If you are writing a recommendation letter for someone you know professionally, you can send it to us by following the submission guidelines here and we will send it out to our reviewers. They will provide recommendations on how you can make your letter more equitable and less biased, using a combination of the techniques and resources described elsewhere on our site, with the aim to make unbiased recommendation letters more accessible to all.
