Applications for the 1507 SME R&D Start-Up Support Program 2024-1 Call, which aims to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in R&D qualified innovation activities and to increase localization in the required technology fields by developing their R&D capacities, were received between 02/01/2024 and 08/03/2024. Projects that were rejected in the 1507 2023-2 Call were revised and submitted to the 1507 2024-1 Call by 25.03.2024.
The evaluation process for 481 out of 492 project proposals submitted to the 1507 Call has been completed. It has been decided to support 230 projects. Within the scope of the improvable project approach, which was implemented with the 2022-2 Call, the evaluation processes of 11 projects continue in the 2024-1 Call. Additionally, for projects submitted from the provinces most affected by the earthquake (Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman, Hatay and Malatya), projects that passed the minimum threshold value were accepted without applying the Budget Threshold Value after the Board's evaluation in the 2024-1 Call. You can access the list of projects that have been decided to be supported, projects that have been rejected, and projects that are still under evaluation from the links below.
We congratulate our firms whose projects have been funded, and we would like to remind the firms whose projects were rejected that they can revise their applications and apply for the 1507 2024-2 Call.
We thank our Board members and referees for their valuable contributions to the project evaluation processes.
Firms can access the latest status of their project proposals on the project information page at eteydeb.tubitak.gov.tr.
For accepted projects the support letters, the contract, and its annexes; for rejected projects, the detailed rejection explanations will be sent to the firms' KEP (Registered Electronic Mail) addresses. The printed project contract will not be sent to the firms. Instead, the firms will print one copy of the project contract attached to the support letter, sign it, and send it to TÜBİTAK via post/courier.
