NevadaNevada proposal would permit grants to groups employing reviewers
Groups seeking Department of Human Services grants would not be barred for employing a review committee member, while members with ties to a matter would disclose them and sit out.
What it does
A group would not be barred from a Department of Human Services grant just because it employs a grant review committee member.
A committee member tied to a group related to a matter before the committee would have to disclose the tie and stay out of that matter.
Argument forGroups employing committee members could seek grants, while requiring members to disclose ties and sit out could help keep reviews fair.
Argument againstEven if a tied member sits out, grants to that member’s employer could make other applicants question whether the review was fair.
