Please Do…

Remember that the Panelists may not be
‘Experts’ in the specific area of your proposed
research
Please Do…
Outline all ‘relevant’ prior research in the area
(…if you don’t they will do it using WebofScience and
probably not try to find out the ‘fine’ difference
between the published work and proposed work)


The literature survey actually helps bring the
panelists up to speed with the topic at hand
Please Do…
Outline
Method Section in moderate detail.
! what may be trivial protocol for you may not
be for the panelist

Highlight without being modest why the
outcome of the project is important so that it
really justifies being funded!
Please Don’t…

Have high degree of similarity in the title of the proposal with
previously funded proposals!

Make the proposal look like ‘I’m on a shopping spree’: ends up
your project being misunderstood for a infrastructure (altıyapı)
project.
Jusity equipment needs clearly!

Forget to:
!Check for all necessary supporting documents: no mercy towards
‘missing ( or what I/you think ‘but no so important’ documents)
!Check the finished proposal for ‘no missing’ sections /subsections
Please Do…
 As
a panelist please fight for good proposals!
This will overtime set up a tone in these
evaluation processes and other panelists will
not be intimidated to voice their opinions
... Next time it will be your proposal on the table!
My Take: No Foolproof Formula…..
THANK YOU….
