Need for Peer Reviewers: Summer 2020 Discretionary grants are competitive.

We rely on ‘panels’ or teams of peer reviewers to read, score, and provide high-quality feedback on all eligible applications.

Individuals with advanced education degrees and/or experience working with AI/AN communities are strongly desired as peer reviewers.

Peer reviewers receive compensation of $175 per application reviewed.
