Grant Review Panel

The Grant Review Panel’s purpose is to evaluate research funding applications, ensuring that any grant awarded by CHS Global Partnerships for Research & Innovation will support research of the highest quality. Our Grant Review Panel is comprised of established national and global researchers focused on our four research areas of focus: Hearing Health, Hearing Science, Deaf Studies, and Quality of Life. 

CHS Global Partnerships for Research & Innovation is grateful to all its grant review panelists for voluntarily contributing their time and expertise to the crucial task of reviewing grant applications to ensure we are selecting the absolute best projects to fund.
