Areas of Expertise: Qualified reviewers
for this grant competition should have
expertise and experience in at least
one of the following
areas: physical education; nutrition
education; health education; school
health; student wellness; public health;
child development; program
management; or evaluation of community
or school-based programs.
Required Trainings: Prospective reviewers
must fully participate in training to
be considered for the review. The first
portion of the
training is the 2008 PEP Peer Reviewer
Training. You are required to complete
this portion of the training even if
you have reviewed for this
competition in past years.
The second portion of the training
is the U.S. Department of Education
E-Reader on-line peer review platform.
If a potential reviewer
completed the 2008 or 2007 Office of
Safe and Drug-Free Schools E-Reader
Training, you do not need to repeat
the training. The potential
reviewer's name will be compared to
the 2008 and 2007 E-Reader training
rosters to ensure completion of the
E-Reader training requirement.
