CUFA is currently soliciting reviewers for the following awards: Early Career Award, Kipchoge Neftali Kirkland Social Justice Award, and National Technology Leadership Initiative Fellowship Award. The deadline to volunteer as a reviewer is September 1, 2021.

We ask that you volunteer to review for only one award.

NOTE: Reviewers for the Early Career Award must be promoted faculty (associate/senior rank or higher).

We hope to include all volunteers, but to ensure a successful process, we may need to limit the number of people serving on the review panels. Additionally, we are requesting demographic information to ensure that review panels represent the diversity of the CUFA membership.

Time Commitment:
If you volunteer to review for the paper-related awards (Kirkland SJ Award, NTLI Award), it will involve reviewing approximately five to ten papers within a two week period in early November. If you volunteer to review for the Early Career Award, it will involve reviewing approximately five to ten nomination packages within a month period in mid-September to mid-October. All award review panels will also include a remote meeting for deliberation.

If you are unable to do the above number of reviews during the outlined time frame, we ask that you not submit your name as a reviewer. If you intend on your work being nominated for a CUFA award, please do not volunteer for that particular review panel.

At the end of the review process, reviewers for all the CUFA awards will be acknowledged as a group on the CUFA website.
