Background

GrantIQ supports competitive research funding through calls for proposals across different science, technology, and innovation priority areas. To do this well, we need subject-area experts to undertake technical reviews of proposals submitted from time to time.

As part of our commitment to sustainable research funding, academic excellence, inclusivity, and intellectual rigor, GrantIQ is constituting a panel of reviewers to contribute their expertise in the proposal review process.

We invite applications from individual experts across diverse geographic regions, institutional affiliations, career stages, and perspectives whose expertise aligns with the relevant thematic areas.
