Review Committee Selection Process
(For Discretionary Competitive Projects Only)
Program Title: Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education (Curricular Review of Career Clusters)
Process Description:
Projected Size:
The number of proposals received will determine the number of committee members needed to effectively
review the competitive projects.
Areas of expertise:
The DOE Grants Development area will be actively involved in the selection and review process. The process
will include Secondary and Postsecondary practitioners from around the state who will be invited to participate
in the review process. There will be three members per committee, consisting of one individual from each of
the following areas: universities, community colleges, and school districts.
Demographics of review committee:
The reviewers will be selected from school districts, community colleges and universities from around the state
of Florida. A concerted effort will be made to ensure that statewide representation is assigned to each of the
review teams. Ethnic and gender make-up will be a strong factor when considering candidates for the final
review committee.
Describe the process that will be used to select members:
There will be four review committees, one each for E-Technology (web-based); Aviation/Aerospace;
Environmental Science; and Finance. Each committee will consist of four to five members.
Expertise will include individuals familiar with the program review and curriculum process, a specialist(s) in
the career cluster to be reviewed, a business representative, and representatives from school districts,
community colleges, and universities. All attempts will be made to have diverse committees; however,
appropriate industry and sector representation is critical to the success of this initiative.
Committee members will be selected as outlined above and will be invited to participate in the review process.
They will indicate, either verbally or in writing, their willingness to serve on the committee.
The Director of Grants Administration will review each nomination to ensure that they meet the criteria. A
formal invitation will be extended to the selected nominees to request their participation in the review process.
In the event that one or more of the final nominees is unable to participate a list of alternates will be selected.
To ensure objectivity no reviewer will be allowed to evaluate any applications from their respective
geographical area. Each member of the final review committee will be required to sign a conflict of interest
statement prior to the application review process.
A complete description of the committee members, including names, titles and other identifying information
will be attached to the prioritized funding list when submitted for approval.
