The scientific evaluation process of the projects proposed to the Academic Research Funding Program Directorate (ARDEB) within the scope of the "1001- Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program" in the 1st term of 2024 has been completed.
Within the scope of our output and impact-oriented process management, the following criteria, in addition to the panel score, have been considered during the process of deciding on which projects to support.
Output performance of the project coordinator obtained from previously supported projects,
Compliance with prioritized area subjects stated in TÜBİTAK call planning,
Projects directly associated with prioritized R&D and innovation issues in the scope of Compliance with the Green Deal,
Being a project coordinator on behalf of the relevant institution/organization in the projects submitted to the programs supported directly by the European Commission grants within the scope of the Horizon Europe Program,
Multidisciplinary / Interdisciplinary Projects,
University-University Cooperation established within the scope of the project proposal,
University-Industry Cooperation established within the scope of the project proposal
Considering the benefit rate of projects in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities from the TÜBİTAK-ARDEB grant budget, the projects evaluated by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Grant Committee (SOBAG) are excluded from the scope of the budget restriction. In addition, project proposals submitted from universities in Adıyaman, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Malatya, where the effects of the 6 February 2023 earthquake disaster continue, are not involved in the budget restriction process, and projects submitted from these universities have been prioritized.
In the 1st term of 2024, 1502 of 1595 project proposals submitted within the scope of the 1001 program were taken into scientific evaluation. As the result of the evaluation, it has been decided to support 222 project proposals, and to conditionally accept 47 project proposals to support, if shortcomings for these 47 projects specified in their scientific evaluation reports will be revised. Also, 107 projects have been given the opportunity to be revised and resubmitted until 5 August 2024, without having to wait until the next term. In the evaluation of the projects that will be resubmitted without waiting for the next period, the criteria for the 1st term of 2024 will be used, and these projects will be supported within the budget of revised project process.
The support rate for the projects evaluated in the 1st period of 2024 is 17,9%.
During the evaluation of the 1st term projects of 2024, 671 online panels and 111 external advisor panels were conducted with the participation of 3244 panelists, 529 external advisors, and 819 observers from 238 different institutions. During the determination of the assigned panelists; The “Panelist Selection Algorithm”, which takes into account both the areas of expertise mentioned in the digital identity information and ARBIS profiles of the researchers in addition to the areas of expertise included in the project proposal, was used. It has been given great importance to ensure that the assigned panelists took part as a project coordinator at least once before they were assigned as panelists.
We would like to thank the panelists who took part in the scientific evaluation processes of the projects and the observers for their invaluable contributions.
The coordinators of the projects, whose result of scientific evaluation process has been positive, and the institutions they are affiliated with, are given below with the data for the period of 2024-1:
Evaluation reports for the projects that can be resubmitted without having to wait until the next term will be made available at http://pys.tubitak.gov.tr until 17 July 2024.
