From Search to Selection: Finding the Right Evaluator for Your ATE Grant

Finding the right evaluator is an important decision for any ATE project and one that many PIs feel underprepared to make. Whether you are developing a proposal and need to identify an evaluator before submission, or you are newly funded and navigating your institution’s procurement process, this webinar will equip you with a practical framework to guide every step of the search. Participants will learn where to find qualified evaluators, what credentials and experience to look for, and how to use a structured decision framework to assess the fit for their specific project context. The session moves through four decision gates – basic qualifications, contextual fit, evaluation approach, and partnership potential – giving participants clear criteria to apply immediately.
