Becoming a Peer Review Panelist

The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) an agency within U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families is seeking individuals willing to serve as application reviewers. ANA utilizes outside reviewers to read, comment, and score applications submitted for ANA funding.

The mission of ANA is to promote the goal of social and economic self-sufficiency for American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders. The ANA supports this mission by providing discretionary grants to eligible applicants in three key program areas. The program areas are:

Prospective reviewers are approved based on their qualifications and experience.

The six (6) day review sessions are held once a year for each program area in Washington D.C. Reviewers will be paid $250 per day for each day of the review session. Travel and lodging costs are arranged and paid for directly by ANA.
