For this assignment, you will write an evaluation of a proposal by Student X (see attached file above). This proposal was written by a past student in this
course. As a Masters prepared professional you may be invited to serve as a reviewer of grants or as a reviewer of manuscriipts submitted to a journal
(hence the term “peer-review”). This assignment will give you practice on how to be a peer reviewer.

knowledge of what is expected in a grant proposal.

copy and paste the items in this handout followed by your answers. You need to write your critique in narrative form using the checklist as a guide.
Please make sure that you use Times New Roman 12 font and your paper is double-spaced. Use 1″ margins. No large gaps between paragraphs. Each
