Join the AIBS SPARS Roster of Scientific Peer Reviewers
The American Institute of Biological Sciences Scientific Peer Advisory and Review Services (AIBS SPARS) division, in its role of promoting the biological, biomedical, and environmental sciences and their contributions to the public welfare, provides advisory services to various federal agencies, private foundations, and other organizations. These activities include but are not limited to peer review of research proposals and research programs. AIBS SPARS draws its expert consultants from the academic, governmental, and industrial scientific communities, and we are continually building our database of scientists to serve as peer reviewers.
Peer reviews are conducted by mail/teleconference or in person, depending on the proposal/program being reviewed. All reviewers receive a modest payment for each review in which they participate, and if the peer review is conducted in person, all travel expenses are paid by AIBS SPARS. To be included in our peer reviewer database, simply complete the online form below. By completing this form, you are not committing yourself to any activity. AIBS SPARS staff members always contact individuals to determine if they are interested and available for a given review.
If you have questions about becoming a reviewer for AIBS SPARS, please contact Scott Glisson.
