About The Position

Dhaka Technologies Limited Company is hiring Grant Reviewers on behalf of the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) for its National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Equipment Assistance grant competition. Reviewers provide independent subject matter expertise by reading, scoring, and commenting on competitive grant applications submitted by eligible entities. Reviews are completed remotely in OSSE’s online Enterprise Grants Management System (EGMS), and reviewer scores are used to recommend applications for funding. This is a remote, part-time, short-term independent contractor assignment paid per application successfully reviewed. Reviewers work on their own schedules within deadlines and are typically assigned two or more applications. The engagement includes EGMS training, a grant-specific orientation webinar, an application review window usually lasting two weeks, and a facilitated panel discussion by phone or video conference if scores differ significantly. Work is expected to be completed approximately by November 13, 2026; final dates are confirmed before orientation. Payment is issued after OSSE verifies completion of the entire review process.
