Notes from a Federal Reviewer

by Sandra Jewell, Grant Writing Consultant and Writer

This four-part series, written by the reviewer of numerous government grant applications, provides a first hand account of the federal review process. It provides insight into how a Request for Application (RFA), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) is developed, and chronicles the journey a submission makes once it reaches the funding agency. The series also describes factors that can summarily disqualify an application and others that can make it memorable.

Part 1 – The Award Process Begins
 Part 2 – The Objective (Peer) Review
Part 3 – Evaluation
Part 4 – Submit and Wait
