Expert Reviewers are individuals suggested either by, (1) the Principal Investigator or organization submitting the proposal; (2) individuals the Foundation has identified as having expertise either in the subject matter outlined in the proposal, in research methodology or in strategy and evaluation. The John Templeton Foundation takes every precaution to ensure that these reviews are kept strictly confidential.

The information, suggestions, ideas, questions, and concerns raised by the expert reviewers enable the Foundation to more acutely understand the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed project. The Foundation generally receives between four and twelve expert reviews for each grant proposal.

Please provide contact information for five people whom the Foundation could use as external, objective, and knowledgeable experts for an assessment on the merits of the proposed project.
