This process is designed to assess the maximum number of proposals and to help identify the research areas to be needed for the review process. At this early stage, it helps the Partners to :
• check on national eligibility criteria.
• identify possible areas of conflicts of interest (see Annex COI)
The letter of intent will briefly (3 pages based on a provided template that can be found below) describe the team and the topic of the proposed research by the Project Coordinator who is the single point of contact. Only one joint application is submitted by the Project Coordinator on behalf of the 2 other principal investigators. The required information needed for each principal investigator includes a short CV, a list of the 5 most relevant publications, names/affiliation of doctoral and postdoctoral mentors and list of collaborators in the last four years (maximum of 2 pages).
Eligibility check based on the letters of intent
• The Call Secretariat does a first eligibility check on administrative details.
• The detailed full list of projects is provided to the Partners to let them check on the national eligibility of the applicants.
• After agreement on eligibility by the Partners, the Call Secretariat informs the Project Coordinators on the status and further steps to be taken.
• Each national partner may have sepcific requirements. For that information consult with your national funding agency.
