This is a call for application reviewers for the Carnegie Classification.  You will be trained.  I have done this prior and will be hopefully doing it again this time around.

 

There will be a call for graduate students to aid in the process coming out soon.  Once that is done, I will post to the listserv to share with graduate students.

Starting in the 2024 cycle, the Carnegie Elective Classifications piloted a peer review process for the Community Engagement Classification and will continue to offer this in the 2026 cycle. The goal of having  a peer review process is to make the elective classification of and by the field and increase the diversity of reviewers who both understand and represent the broader landscape of higher education institutions and community engagement.

 

Please fill out the application below to be considered to be a Tier One Reviewer for the 2026 Community Engagement Elective Classification cycle. Please read the entire call for reviewers before applying. 

 

Reviewers will be trained in holistic review practices and approaches and reviewer documentation. Tier One Reviewer teams will be constructed to represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. The Carnegie Elective Classifications Office will determine the number of required reviewers based on the number of institutions that indicate they will apply in the 2026 cycle. The Elective Classifications Office will make a limited selection of individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and institutions.

 

The review process is three-tiered:

 

Tier One: Peer Review Teams - 3-4 individuals per team; teams will review 8-10 applications. If teams do not reach a consensus, then reviews will move to a senior review committee.

 

The Elective Classifications Office will select and train reviewers from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and institutions. Reviewers will be compensated $150 for the training and $100 per application reviewed.
