The Learning Innovation and Teaching Enhancement (LITE) Seed grants program is seeking reviewers to assess proposals for these upcoming June and October 2025 competitions.
We are looking for two (2) reviewers for each round.
Reviewers may be academic staff, faculty members, or instructors in any faculty or unit across campus, who are past LITE grant recipients. Reviewers cannot submit a proposal to the round for which they will be adjudicators.
The selected reviewers will need to show proof of having completed the training on research ethics TCPS 2: CORE 2022 () by the time the adjudication training sessions begin.
Each reviewer will be assigned up to nine (9) applications and will be asked to score and provide written feedback on those applications using a rubric. This is an estimated 8-10 hour time commitment, and reviewers will have two (2) weeks to complete the reviews. The adjudication process will be led by a CTE staff member, and reviewers’ identities will not be shared with applicants.
If you are interested, please fill out this LITE Grant Reviewer Sign-up Form.
We are hoping to build a pool of volunteer reviewers to reach out to periodically. As such, filling out the form below does not mean that you will be assigned proposals for the rounds you selected. We will ensure equitable distribution of reviewer opportunities based on several factors, including career track (teaching stream, tenure-track), faculty, discipline, etc.
