A Method to Our Madness: The Strategy Behind Grant Review

Everyone has questions about grant review. Understanding the nuances and subtleties that underlie grant decisions starts with appreciating grant review strategies and processes. This is an opportunity for an open discussion with supporters about the philosophy and approach they take when reviewing IME grants. In this session, a panel of IME supporters from a diverse selection of organizations will discuss the methods and strategies they use during grant review. Questions to be discussed include:

• What strategies do you utilize when reviewing responses to an RFP vs reviewing unsolicited proposals?


• What techniques do you utilize to manage a high volume of grant reviews?


• Who is involved in grant review and what role do they play?


• Do you have any tips or advice for potential applicants about grant review?

And much more. By utilizing a moderated panel discussion approach, we hope to share a variety of opinions and approaches to the grant review process and provide new perspectives that both providers and supporters may find of value.
