The NDCA is looking for people who are interested in serving as panelists
for various grant programs. These programs include Institutional Support,
Community Arts Access, Artist-in-Residence and Teacher Incentive, Presenter
Support, and Individual Artist Fellowship grants. NDCA panelists' advice
plays a central role in reviewing applications for funding and in discussing
policy issues about the needs of the arts. Panels are composed of
individuals who represent a broad range of artistic and cultural viewpoints
and geographic and ethnic diversity. Panelists may be either arts experts -
experienced in a specific art form- or a layperson that is knowledgeable
about the arts but not engaged in the arts as a profession.

discussions.
Special Characteristics
The NDCA makes ever effort to convene panels that are ethnically and
regionally diverse, therefore we request information that will enable us
to ensure that is accomplished. The classifications conform to those
prescribed by the Federal Government's Office of Management and Budget for
Federal reporting and statistical activities. They are not determinants of
eligibility for participation on the NDCA panels. The identification of
your gender and any disabilities that you may have is voluntary.
The categories are designed to identify your basic racial and national
origin. If you are of mixed racial and/or national origin, choose the
category with which you most identify yourself, as described:

any of the original people of North America, and who maintains cultural
identification through affiliation or community recognition.

original people of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent,
or the Pacific Islands. This includes, for example, China, India, Japan,
Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.

the black racial groups of Africa.
