Peer Mentoring Reviews are technical assistance based, providing guidance to project directors in implementing compliant project management practices.  Peer Mentoring Reviews:

• are more narrowly focused than Peer Monitoring Reviews
• are not considered formal external evaluations
• are structured around the needs of the project rather than the areas normally reviewed during a federal site visit
• typically one day rather than two or three days
• involve fewer peer monitors (one or in rare occassions two)
• do not involve the submission of a formal report
• require project membership in NASP
• do not require a separate review fee
• require that the hosting project pay for reviews' travel, lodging and meals

These reviews are good for begining directors, new projects just getting started, projects in transition that need an outside perspective on specific management aspects, staff that have a particular training need.
