Anyone seeking to serve as a peer reviewer for IFLE and/or OPE must register with G5, the ED online grant management system, at www.g5.gov. Once you have created an account and logged in, follow these steps:
- Upon logging in, select “My Profile” under the “Main” tab in the top navigation bar;
- Scroll to the bottom of the page, select “Reviewer” in the Available Type list, and click “Continue”;
- Complete your reviewer profile tabs to the left of the page;
- Submit your resume through this online process. Ensure your resume (maximum of five pages) includes a brief list of career highlights and/or outlines your specific expertise; and
- Make sure to “Submit” your inputs upon completion.
GRC advises grant seekers to serve in peer review panels whenever possible to get a sense of what qualities separate funded proposals from those that aren’t and to see how the review process works, firsthand.
