The International and Foreign Language Education office (IFLE) of the U.S. Department of Education administers a variety of international education programs. IFLE continually seeks qualified individuals, in particular language and area studies specialists, to serve as readers for grant competitions.

 

Readers participate in a panel review of applications, and are provided with modest compensation. Most reviews are conducted electronically, via the Department’s G5 system, and travel will not be necessary. In cases where travel is necessary, readers are provided with roundtrip travel, hotel room, and meal allowances. The review process involves orientation, reading of applications, and regularly scheduled discussions with other panelists. Scores are based on predetermined selection criteria for each program. Panel reviews normally last one to two weeks. 

 

If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, and feel that you have the appropriate qualifications, please submit an online application at http://opeweb.ed.gov/frs/index.cfm and click on the link for the FRS Registration Page.
