Each year the Department convenes panels of external education professionals and practitioners to serve as peer reviewers for various grants.
These panels evaluate, provide written feedback on, and score grant applications against program-specific criteria. This feedback is used to inform the Secretary's funding decisions.
Benefits of being a Peer Reviewer
- Development - Network with and learn from other noted education colleagues.
- Service - Serve the education community by providing your expertise.
- Innovation - Gain exposure to new ideas to expand and enhance education.
- Influence - Provide evaluations of application quality that are used by the Secretary in making funding decisions.
