SAMHSA Peer Reviewer Application Form Update
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
SAMHSA plans to reinstate and update the application form used by people who want to serve as peer reviewers for its discretionary grant programs. The agency uses this form to collect consistent information on applicants’ education, experience, and areas of expertise so it can match them to grant review committees. The main practical change is to the form’s demographic and expertise fields. SAMHSA proposes removing or revising several categories, adding Middle Eastern or North African under race/ethnicity, and deleting a behavioral health values statement. People interested in serving as reviewers, and organizations that track federal grant review processes, may want to review the proposed changes and submit comments by July 10, 2026.
