Subject: Generic Request for Grant Reviewer Recruitment Forms


In 2015 ACF had over one hundred funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) from thirteen program offices serving the needs of economically and socially disadvantaged populations. Questions asked will fall into three broad categories: reviewer contact information, expertise, and the OMB mandated race and ethnicity questions.


Examples of reviewer contact information are the following: date, name address phone number, email address.


Examples of expertise questions to the candidate reviewers would be prior experience refereeing grants, education, and experience in the subject area of the FOA under consideration. The following are current examples of ACF discretionary FOAs:
