Selection procedure

Selection criteria

Projects will be evaluated based on eligibility and scientific merit through independent peer review by a User Selection Panel.

Priority will be given to research teams who have not previously used the services, projects with potential to attract additional financial support, and research teams who are working in countries where the services sought are not readily available.

Scientific merit will be measured based on sections 1-4 of the proposal part B as outlined in section 3 of the guide for applicants. A maximum of five points will be attributed to each section. All user projects reaching an overall threshold of 14 out of 20 points are in principle eligible for PRISMAP funding and will be invited to hearings based on which the evaluation of all proposals of a user call will be finalised and proposals will be ranked and selected for funding.

Evaluation results will be made available within two months after the cut-off date of a call. The funded project needs to be started at the latest 18 months after selection for funding.
