In order to carefully consider which grant applications to recommend for funding, OVW assembles peer review panels comprised of experts and practitioners to help evaluate and score grant applications based on the requirements outlined in the different solicitations for the OVW grant programs. OVW assembles peer review panels by inviting experts and practitioners to serve as peer reviewers. Participation in the peer review program is completely voluntary; however, in order to be considered a peer reviewer, the prospective reviewer must enroll in the Database by entering their information online (contact information, resume/ curriculum vitae (CV), and other selfidentified information, such as employee type, education levels, job categories, ethnicity, expertise areas, and availability). A reviewer can only access, view, and modify their own individual record. OVW staff can access the Database to perform searches and review peer reviewer profiles in order to select an individual to review E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM 05MYN1
