Abstract: This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to revise the generic clearance for Grant Reviewer Recruitment (GRR) forms to expand the focus from just recruiting grant reviewers to recruiting reviewers in general. Currently, the overarching generic covers recruitment forms for grant reviewers, but it would be beneficial to ACF to collect information from other types of potential reviewers, such as those who volunteer to review materials for conferences, reports, or other ACF materials. This revised Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms would allow ACF to collect information about expertise from potential reviewers for a variety of activities.
