Call for Merit Reviewers: The Alliance is recruiting volunteer experts to its Merit Review Committee for the Data Champions Pilot Project as well as for other upcoming funding opportunities. The success of funding calls depends on the participation of experts from the Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem to review funding applications.
The Alliance is seeking experts to participate as soon as February 2022 (exact dates to be confirmed soon; participation includes providing feedback on applications and adjudication meeting(s)).
They encourage applications from subject matter experts in all fields, disciplines, and areas of interest, who speak French and/or English, from across Canada and internationally, who can contribute their expertise in RDM to the Data Champion Merit Review Committee.
