Peer Review Committee

The PEI Alliance for Mental Well-Being’s Peer Review Committee plays an important role in the Focusing Action for Positive Change Grant Program process. It ensures proposed projects fit within the Alliance’s mandate. Peer Reviewers are responsible for evaluating project applications against specific Grant Program criteria and making recommendations to the Board of Directors for funding approval.
