SEEKING GRANT REVIEWERS WITH DISABILITIES

ACL’s Administration on Disabilities is seeking paid peer reviewers for a variety of grant competitions, in particular, reviewers with disabilities. ACL believes in the importance of meaningfully including people with disabilities at all stages of our work, including grant review.
Reviewers are responsible for:
- Attending a virtual reviewer training;
- Independently reviewing and scoring assigned grant applications in an online system;
- Participating in one or more conference calls with other reviewers to discuss their independent application reviews; and
- Submitting final scores and comments by the deadline.
Reviewers will receive a stipend for completing the tasks above. Reasonable accommodations are available, if needed, to complete the review process.
