Research Grant Reviewers Needed!

 

PA Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC) is in need of individuals to serve this year on our panel as Scientific Research Reviewers and Consumer/Lay Reviewers.

Each Scientific Reviewer will be assigned a designated number of grants/proposals to review and will write short critiques on the following:

  • Scientific Relevance
  • Impact
  • Innovation
  • Research Strategy
  • Research Environment
  • Feasibility and Timeline
  • Budget
  • Principal Investigator and Personnel

Each Consumer/Lay Reviewer will be assigned a designated number of grants/proposals to review and will write a short critique on the following:

  • Impact

Consumer/Lay Reviewers are required to read the full application and are encouraged to comment on all criteria if you feel you have the knowledge and feel comfortable in doing so.

Each assigned reviewer will provide their critique(s) focusing on major, score driving strengths and weaknesses.

Once your willingness and availability to serve on the Review Committee is confirmed, you will be emailed a Conflict of Interest (COI) that will need to be completed and emailed back to the PBCC. An email address will be provided to you.

You will also receive the Reviewer Manual/Guidelines to review.  Please read and become familiar with the material since this is the information you will need to begin and complete your review process for the Grant/Proposal Program.

Grants/Proposals will be mailed to you around July 6, 2019. Your score sheets with your critiques will need to be returned by August 1, 2019.

Please let us know by  May 1, 2019 with your availability of serving on the Review Committee. If you have any questions, email Info@PABreastCancer.orgcreate new email
