Evaluation Process
Annual and Student Grants
All Sachs Program Annual and Student Grants will be evaluated by Committees.
Evaluating committees will reflect a range of expertise, including expertise relevant to the application pool, and may include previous grant recipients, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. No committee member may evaluate applications in which they are directly involved.
Committees will discuss the applications individually and in the context of the pool and may review work samples and other useful information during the discussion.
The evaluation conversation will be informed by the Sachs Program’s mission, priorities, and current program criteria.
Committee recommendations will be shared with the Sachs Program Advisory Board. It is the responsibility of the Sachs Program Advisory Board to make final decisions on which projects will receive support.
