How Grant Review Panels are Selected

  • People who work or live in Delaware are eligible to serve on panels. Additional out-of-state panelists may be used to incorporate regional or national perspective, to provide additional expertise and diversity, or to mitigate the potential for conflicts of interest.
  • Division staff members strive to construct panels that reflect Delaware’s demographic and geographic diversity.
  • Panels are composed of artists, arts educators, arts and nonprofit organization administrators, corporate and fundraising managers, knowledgeable arts specialists, and interested community members.
  • Panelists are chosen for their professional experience, expertise in an artistic discipline, knowledge of the community, and ability to objectively review grant materials.
  • Panelists are screened for conflicts of interest, and where they exist, panelists are recused from discussion of the grant application or assigned to an alternate panel where a conflict does not exist.
