Opportunity to Become a Grant Reviewer for Colorado Rural Health Care Grant Program

The Colorado Rural Health Grant Program is intended to support outpatient primary care. The grant applications are for projects that support the health infrastructure in rural Colorado. Infrastructure includes, but is not limited to: equipment, physical plant improvements, information technology, and staff training or education.

Eligibility to be a Reviewer
Individuals who are submitting an application for this grant program this year or who are employed by or on the board of directors of an applicant organization are not eligible to serve as reviewers. We are looking for both urban and rural reviewers. While reviewers will be assigned applications outside their geographic region, they are still expected to notify CRHC – prior to conducting their reviews – if they have a conflict of interest with any application assigned to them.

Time Commitment
Each reviewer will be assigned between five and ten applications, depending upon the number of applications received and the number of reviewers who volunteer. It is expected that each application will take approximately an hour to review and score. Participation as a reviewer will not require travel. Instructions, score sheets, and the assigned applications will be sent to reviewers electronically. Reviewers will then score the applications and return the score sheets electronically.

Reviewers will be sent their applications to review by March 23. Reviewers will have between March 23 and April 13 to complete their reviews.
