Who can be an Endorser?
We suggest that someone who knows you and/or your work be an Endorser, similar to a person you would ask to be a job reference. We do suggest, however, that you do not choose someone as your Endorser who would benefit from the grant funding as this could be viewed as a conflict of interest. We typically recommend that you choose one Endorser who knows you and your work well (a colleague, advisor, etc.) and then someone doing work in your field from another institution.
