Grant Reviewer Opportunities

15 AGENCIES SEEKING GRANT REVIEWERS

One great way to increase the likelihood of getting funding is to become a grant reviewer. Current research suggests that you can improve your odds by as much as 30% by serving first as a reviewer and then submitting a proposal to the agency for which you reviewer at a later competition cycle.  Many benefits exist for becoming a grant reviewer. You quickly learn what turns reviewers on – and off. Equally important, you become and “insider” and establish contacts and networks that will prove valuable later in your continued grantseeking efforts. Federal agencies are especially looking for grant reviewers because they receive so many proposals that must be critiqued. In our latest blog, we have identified 15 federal grantmaking agencies that are looking for grant reviewers – now. Which one is right for you?
