Community Reviewer Roles & Responsibilities
Reviewers will participate remotely and will not be required to attend any in-person meetings. Participants will review and score applications based on funding priority within a fiscal year period. Reviewers are also required to participate in a virtual reviewer orientation session before beginning their review. The purpose of the virtual orientation session is to define the role and responsibilities of the peer reviewers as well as the background and purpose of the grant program being peer-reviewed. Reviewers will receive stipends within the fiscal year period.
