From policy to funding
the best research projects
 The policy for Health research is described in the FP7 specific
programme
 Each year, a work programme is prepared by the EC, based on
consultation of scientific community, and discussed with the
Advisory Group and with the Programme Committee (MS & AC)
 Through calls for proposals the EC invites researchers to submit
 The very best projects are selected on the basis of evaluation by
a panel of independent experts (peer review)
 After negotiation of a grant agreement, a project is normally
funded for 2-5 years.

Submission & evaluation
Basic principles:

Annual calls – now only two-stage

Eligibility check (partners, limits, scope, deadline)


Evaluation by panels of independent experts
overseen by Independent Observers
3 criteria:
Science & Technology excellence
Implementation & Management
Potential Impact

Key issues
 engage in the dialogue on future research priorities






Get involved with your country’s members of the programme
committees
the proposal must address the topic and the workprogramme
the consortium of partners must be excellent and appropriate for
the tasks (the proposal must address all 3 criteria
Readability is as important as content
and, of course, respect the basic rules
(deadlines, N° of participants, ceilings, length, ethics…)
