Grant reviewer
Review funding requests against agreed criteria.
Help assess funding requests fairly and consistently. Review the criteria with us, document your reasoning, and disclose conflicts before taking part.
The work
- Scoring against the rubric: need, use, cost reasonableness, mission fit.
- Writing down why in a sentence, so a decision can be explained later.
- Telling us when the rubric itself is wrong.
Your first month
- Review the current criteria and the public application guidance with us.
- Score a small batch alongside us and compare where we diverged.
Who it suits
- You have reviewed grants, scholarships or applications in any field.
- You can hold a line kindly. Most applications will be genuine and we cannot fund them all.
You do not need a finance or clinical background.
Not this
- Influence over who gets funded on your own behalf. Reviewers declare conflicts and step out.
- Deciding alone. Scores inform a decision, they are not the decision.
A clear review gives each request a fair hearing.
