AMS is seeking subject matter experts to evaluate applications for the Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP), Local Foods Promotion Program, (LFPP), and Regional Food System Partnerships Program (RFSP). Reviewers receive training on the respective programs. Reviewing applications takes approximately 4-5 weeks. Reviewers evaluate applications assigned to them independently, then come together with other panel members virtually to discuss their findings and finalize reviews and scoring. Non-federal reviewers will be compensated for their time.
