New Schools for Alabama is looking for Qualified Peer Reviewers
New Schools for Alabama is kicking off the seventh round of its CSP subgrant application, and we are looking for qualified peer reviewers to be a part of the process.
Reviewers will be required to engage in training, including one video to be viewed asynchronously, a review of the updated RFA and rubric, and one 1-2-hour live training on Zoom.
Reviewers will be responsible for reviewing up to 4 CSP subgrant applications and will be compensated $500 per application for completion of all peer reviewer responsibilities inclusive of required training, scoring, and capacity interview participation for each application.
Important dates for this round include:
-
Peer Review Window: 8/5/2024- 9/4/24
-
Peer Reviewer Training: TBD depending on team availability (before 7/31)
-
Applicant Interviews: September 9-11
*Note that while reviewers will only be responsible for attending 3-4 prep times and 3-4 interviews, they will need to hold all three full days until these slots are scheduled with schools the week of 8/5/2024. Reviewers must be online and in front of a computer to prepare for interviews, engage with schools, and write and edit feedback on the applications.
