HEC/Alert: Peer Reviewers Needed

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
(OSDFS) is currently seeking qualified peer reviewers to read and
evaluate grant applications that will be submitted under the Grant
Competition to Prevent High-Risk Drinking or Violent Behavior among
College Students. In anticipation of this review, the Department is
requesting prospective reviewers to send an e-mail message indicating
interest and a copy of their current resume to Rich Lucey in OSDFS at
richard.lucey_at_ed.gov. Qualified reviewers for this grant competition
should have experience and expertise in alcohol abuse prevention,
violence prevention, and/or research and evaluation, especially as it
relates to college students.

Reviewers selected by the Department will read and evaluate up to 12
grant applications, post scores and comments online over an 8- to 10-day
period, and participate in three mandatory conference calls. This review
is scheduled to occur from March 9 through March 23, 2007. The actual
number of necessary reviewers will be determined just prior to the
review period.

If contacted about availability, prospective reviewers must successfully
complete an online training in order to be considered for the review.
The training will be offered in the weeks prior to the review.
Confirmation of reviewers is based on the number of applications
received, appropriate mix of reviewer qualifications, availability, and
other factors.

If you have any questions or need additional information about this peer
reviewer opportunity, please send an e-mail message to
richard.lucey_at_ed.gov, referencing Potential Peer Reviewer (84.184H) in
the subject line.
