Selected reviewers should expect to commit approximately 60 hours to the required training, review and discussion process over the course of six weeks. Reviews will take place during summer 2024.

Upon successful completion of all review responsibilities, non-federal reviewers will receive $200 for each assigned application evaluation. Non-federal panel chairs will receive an additional, one-time, flat payment for their role.
