FYI. Also note that you will receive up to $800 for doing the review. 
Hello, 

 

The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) in the U.S. Department of Education is seeking peer reviewers for two upcoming competitions: Disability in the Family and ADA National Network Regional Centers (formerly Disablity and Business Technical Assistance Centers) . Both competitions will take place by teleconference and an online computer system, so reviewers are not required to travel.

 

1.)  Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project on Disability in the Family. This competition will be held on August 30-September 1, 2011.   

 

This competition is very broad, and NIDRR needs peer reviewers with expertise and knowledge in a wide range of areas, such as but not limited to: (a) research; (b) development (e.g., of technology, interventions, universal design); (c) family members with disabilities across the lifespan; (d) caregiving; (e) the experience of families who have a member with a disability; and (f) policies and financing.  

 

The text of the final priority and notice inviting applications are provided in the links below.
