What happens between the submission of the grants and announcements of awards?
The proposals submitted will be distributed to peer reviewers drawn from university, K-12, and evaluation backgrounds. Each proposal will be read and scored by several reviewers. In early July, readers will convene in panels to identify all proposals that may be fundable; these proposers will be invited to interviews with ITQ staff and selected panel members. That process will result in a final list of recommended grantees that will go to the ITQ program administrator, who will submit recommendations to the CPEC Executive Director for approval of the grant awards. If necessary, ITQ and CPEC staff may negotiate budget changes with selected projects before the award is finalized.
