Review Process & Evaluation Rubric

Learn more about how submissions will be assessed.

Following the May 17 application deadline, all submissions will go through multiple stages of review. During administrative review, all submissions will be screened to confirm eligibility, completeness, and adherence to the Application Rules of the program. Those submissions that pass administrative review will proceed to the expert review panel. During the expert review panel, each application will be evaluated using the Evaluation Rubric below. Based on the results of the review panel, a subset of applicants will be invited to an interview with Rockefeller Foundation staff.

Evaluation Rubric

During the review panel, experts will use the following Evaluation Rubric to score applications on four critical dimensions (two related to the project and two related to the applicant): Impact, Clarity, Expertise, and Influence. For each dimension, applications will be scored on a scale of O-5 (note that if you drag the slider along each of the scales below, you will see a description that corresponds to each score on the five-point scale).
