Proposal – Writing “General Advice” by NCP…!

� Common Errors•Proposal written as Scientific Paper

•Not addressing Scope and Expected Impact of Call

•Concept and “state-of-the-art” as well as the outline of the Network are elaborate and in-depth, but

� What Evaluators expect• Well-organised, “flowing” text,

addressing clearly Call’s Scope/ Objectives.

• Proposal should make the Evaluator’s “life” easier: consistent, well-written, following guidelines/templates

• Proposal should help the Evaluators are elaborate and in-depth, butImplementation/ Methodology, “beyond-the-state-of-the-art” and Impact are under-developed

•Unclear Aims and Objectives•Over-ambitious•Off page limits...!•Template and its structure not followed

•Essential parts disregarded

• Proposal should help the Evaluators score it more easily: “built” around the the eval. Scoring scheme

• Proposal has to convince that it will add value and Innovation in the specific field, for the Consortium and the EU at large.

• Clear description of Consortium and synergies/ compementarity within

• Clear Work Plan with Contingency Planning and fair budget distribution

Proposal – Writing “General Advice” by NCP…!

General “Good Practice”

� Good Practice• Evaluators don’t have too much time... Keep it simple and concise• Explain abbreviations / Use Glossary• Use tables and diagrams (relevant and easily understandable)• Use Structure and Table-of-Contents from GfA...Use Headings and

subheadings from GfA... subheadings from GfA... • Use Margins and Font Size set in GfA...Use Page-Numbering set in

GfA... Keep Page Limits set in GfA...!• Accurate, Verifiable and Professional content (refer. where needed)• No “emphatic” statements and claims that are unsubstantiated• Be consistent in UK/US English throughout the document. NO

‘jargon’ or ‘slang’.• Write for the “non-specialist”: if they can understand what you

want to do and why it’s worth the funding... The specialist will, too!• Proof – Read at the end...
