Call for Volunteer Reviewers: 2027 Seed Funding RFAs
R3CR invites early-career and established investigators to serve as reviewers for our seed grant program ($50k awards supporting non-research compliance, infrastructure, and tool development). We anticipate assigning each reviewer no more than 3 proposals, and we will provide a review form similar to the NIH format, aiming for about 2 pages. We plan to send the materials in mid-November, with reviews due by mid-January. Interested? Please complete our form at the link below!
