Peer Review & Grants Management

Each year, organizations assign significant portions of their budgets to scientific research. In order to ensure funding goes to the research projects with the greatest potential to further their missions and serve the public good, these organizations often contract with ORAU to manage the process for reviewing research proposals.

ORAU’s peer review experts work with a diverse group of clients, providing peer review and grant management services. We partner with government agencies, private companies, and educational institutions.

With decades of experience in managing the highly competitive, unbiased technical review process, ORAU has developed the tools and the expertise that allow organizations to be confident that their funding is being directed toward projects with the greatest possible merit.
