Who evaluates the grant proposals?
The Review Panel will consist of representatives from the Multicultural Issues Board, National Office staff, and various multicultural constituency groups; and will consist of at least 6 but no more than 7 individuals. Members of the panel will exclude themselves from reviewing proposals where a conflict of interest may exist. A staff member from the ASHA Office of Multicultural Affairs will coordinate the review panel. The coordinator’s evaluation of a proposal will be considered only when a panel member must exclude himself/herself from reviewing a specific proposal or when the panel’s ratings do not provide a clear-cut decision on a specific proposal.
