CAH selects arts, humanities, subject matter experts, and/or other professionals independent of CAH to serve as advisory review panelists for each grant program. The role of a panelist is to review and score an eligible application's content to the established grant program review criteria. According to the grant program, panelists participate in a group review of CAH grant applications to discuss and comment on the merits and deficiencies of applications and finalize their application-related scores in the presence of CAH staff and Commissioner Conveners.
CAH staff, Commissioner Conveners, and panelists remain impartial in their review of CAH grant applications. CAH ensures that all involved recuse themselves from reviewing any application that presents a personal or professional conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest).
CAH's grant application evaluation process considers general standards of decency and respect for the diverse beliefs and values of the American public consistent with The National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965, as amended (P.L; 89-209, 20 U.S.C. 951 et seq). For more information regarding the grant review process, please contact Public Art Manager, Lauren Dugas Glover, at [email protected].
