Apply for the William T. Grant Foundation Early-Career Reviewer Program by July 27

• Application deadline: Wednesday, July 27

The Early-Career Reviewer Program recruits early-career researchers to serve as peer-reviewers of grant proposals submitted to the William T. Grant Foundation for studies on improving the use of research evidence.

Apart from reading and evaluating grant proposals in their area of expertise, early-career reviewers receive personalized feedback from foundation program officers and have access to additional reviews of assigned proposals prepared by senior peer-reviewers. Altogether, this professional development program aims to build early-career researchers’ understanding of the proposal evaluation and peer-review process for research grants to strengthen their own proposal writing skills and ultimately advance their careers.

Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Received terminal degree within eight years of applying
• Currently working toward an independent research program related to the use of research evidence
• Been involved in the preparation of at least one grant proposal submitted in the past to any funder
• Successfully authored at least one research publication related to research on the use of research evidence

Across all of our programs, we strive to support a diverse group of researchers in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and seniority, and we encourage applications from African American, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian American Pacific Islander researchers. Interested faculty should review the program’s application materials and selection criteria.
