Call for Reviewers - State and Local Implementation Grant Program

The Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is soliciting volunteers to serve as peer reviewers to assess grant application proposals for the $121.5 million State and Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP), an important planning and consultation component for the proposed nationwide public safety broadband network.

Qualified reviewers must have expertise and/or significant experience in at least one of the following areas: public safety communications (e.g., a first responder knowledgeable about public safety communications) or a public sector official (e.g., information technology professional, an elected or appointed government official knowledgeable about public safety communications, or a government official knowledgeable about public safety networks). All reviewers must be currently employed by a federal, state, local, or tribal government agency. Reviewers will not be compensated and will need to sign a waiver of compensation. In addition, reviewers must agree to comply with Department of Commerce policies on conflicts of interest and confidentiality.
