Application reviewers can expect to spend up to 25 hours serving, with most of the time spent reading applications. This includes a 2-hour virtual orientation where you will learn about MRAC’s mission, the grant criteria, and how to assess applications.
After the virtual orientation, reviewers will have approximately one month to evaluate between 25–60 applications (depending on the grant) remotely via our grant interface Submittable. All evaluations are completed independently online and at your own pace. Each application is around 4 pages and can take 15 minutes to 1 hour to assess. Numbers and times vary based on which grant you are reviewing.
We acknowledge that this is a big time commitment. While most reviewers will work on only one grant per year, you are welcome to serve more if you are willing and able.
