Become a Grant Reviewer

One of the best ways of learning to write a grant is to become a grant reviewer! Many agencies such as the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration and the Department of Education actively seek grant reviewers. While other agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health tend to reach out to reviewers themselves, many agencies and programs are open to reviewers contacting them.

Don't be shy; seek out such opportunities. They can be powerful steps in the progression of your career.
