Recruiting Panel Reviewers!

We are recruiting Alaskans for 2 reasons:  1) to have good representation of an Alaskan perspective and 2) to help reduce conflicts of interest.

Each year, the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) convenes panels of individuals with various backgrounds and levels of experience working with grants, Tribes and Tribal nonprofits to objectively analyze and score eligible grant applications. These scores are used to rank eligible applications which help ANA decide which eligible tribes or native organizations will receive funds.

Being a panel reviewer is an integral part of ANA’s funding process and affords participants the opportunity to have a significant impact in native communities.

• Serve as a part of a three person panel team as a “reviewer”
• Serve as a fourth individual of the panel team as a “chair”
• Assigned to review between five and eight applications evaluating how well the application addressed the FOA criteria
• Conducted virtually over a period of 10-14 days
  

This is a great opportunity to gain a perspective of writing with a critical eye by  understanding how applications are evaluated. This may also help you identify gaps in other applications you are writing.

I believe that you have the expertise to be a panel reviewer in this year's process if you are interested. To apply for panel review please go the ANA website below, review the details for panel review, the qualifications and complete a “Reviewer Profile”
