Review Process

Field readers are periodically needed for the reader pool. To streamline the grant application and review process, the Office of Postsecondary Education's Field Reader System (FRS) has been retired and all reviewer information migrated to the Department’s G5 system. Follow the instructions in the G5 system and/or contact the program office for additional assistance about the review process.
