Evaluation of Phase I Project Applications

Evaluation of phase I project proposals; (1) Compliance with the call, (2) R&D Quality, (3) Feasibility.

The first stage project proposals are evaluated by the commission consisting of subject experts.

In addition, Institutional R&D Capability Evaluation can be conducted to evaluate the R&D capabilities of private institutions and public R&D units/centers (including centers at universities). In this context, the R&D capabilities of the organizations are evaluated in line with the following headings by conducting on-site examinations.

Institutional R&D Capability Evaluation,

• R&D Management,Technological Assets and Management,
• R&D Human Resources and Management,
• Information Resources Management,
• Intellectual Property Management,
• Project management,
• R&D Experience,

covers the criteria.

A 2nd stage project proposal is requested for the projects in which the project coordinator organizations that successfully pass the evaluation are involved. Organizations that do not have sufficient R&D capability as a result of the evaluation cannot take part in the project or the project is not supported.

II. Evaluation of Stage Project Applications

II. technical evaluation of phase project proposals; It is made by a panel of experts on four criteria: (1) R&D Qualification, (2) Method, (3) Feasibility, and (4) Affordability of the Budget. Projects submitted under the same call are evaluated in the same panel. As a result of the panel evaluation, the decision to revise or reject the projects is made by TÜBİTAK.

Revision Evaluation

Revision is requested in line with the panel recommendations for the project proposals for which a revision decision is made as a result of the panel evaluation. The appropriateness of the revisions is evaluated and a budget panel evaluation is made for the projects that are found sufficient.

Budget Panel Evaluation

The project budget is evaluated by the panel consisting of subject experts in line with the budget justifications presented in the project proposal, proforma invoices and letters of offer, consultancy/service procurement documents. Contract preparations are started for the project proposals, which are revised in accordance with the budget panel evaluation.

It is aimed to increase the competitiveness of our scientists at the global level and to create innovative and high-impact projects by encouraging researchers in Türkiye to collaborate with international scientists, especially with Turkish ones abroad. In this context, researchers residing abroad can take part in the projects as researchers outside Türkiye if there are specific subjects in which the competence of researchers in our country is limited in the projects submitted within the scope of the support programs (except 1002) carried out by the Directorate for Research Funding Programmes (ARDEB),

To increase the collaborations within this scope and to enable collaboration with scientists from countries with which bilateral and multilateral international collaborations exist as well as the ones with which no collaboration agreement has been made yet, improvements have been made in the conditions for taking part as a researcher outside Türkiye in projects.

With these improvements;

• The restriction on the number of researchers outside Türkiye to take part in a project has been removed. It has become possible for more than one researcher outside Türkiye to take part in a project submitted within the scope of regarding ARDEB programs.

• Restrictions on the duration that researchers outside Türkiye can take part in a project and the obligation for researchers outside Türkiye to come to Türkiye have been removed. Researchers outside Türkiye have been allowed to take part in projects without obligation to come to Türkiye.

NOTE: Researchers outside Türkiye can take part in more than one project supported by TÜBİTAK, but they can get fee only from one project. The travel expenses of the researchers outside Türkiye are covered from the project's travel budget, and 50% of the full-time monthly gross fees they receive abroad in the same period of time, for the time they take part in the Project, are covered as service cost from the project. If 50% of the full-time monthly gross wage that the researcher outside Türkiye receives abroad is less than the “2221 - Fellowships for Visiting Scientists and Scientists on Sabbatical Leave” coordinated by the Directorate for Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes (BİDEB), the highest monthly fee provided under that program is used.

2523 – Joint Mobilization Support Program with Korea National Research Foundation (NRF) 2024 Call scientific review process has been concluded. The 7 projects found eligible to be funded by both TÜBİTAK and NRF are listed below.

6 joint projects have been decided to be supported within the framework of the 6th Bilateral Cooperation Call applied between TÜBİTAK and National Centre for Research and Development, Poland (NCBR). These joint projects that will be supported are found below.

1707 Order R&D Program aims to transform solution proposals designed to meet the needs of Customer Organizations into commercially viable outputs by SMEs through R&D activities. TÜBİTAK and Customer Organizations facilitate SMEs' need-oriented R&D activities through co-financing during this significant process. SMEs are executing innovative products and processes tailored to their customers. Ground is being prepared for sharing financing risks among industrial organizations and understanding intellectual property rights, allowing organizations with relatively more experience in project management to transfer their experiences to SMEs. 

The program received applications for 3 calls in 2024. The evaluation process of all applications in the first and the second calls received for the Order R&D calls has been completed and listed. Admission rates are presented below:

• 1707 Order R&D: 70% (65 applications, 45 acceptances) 

• 1707 BİGG Partners Order R&D: 91% (11 projects, 10 acceptances)

The evaluation processes for 75 applications submitted under the 3rd term calls, which closed on November 30, 2024, are ongoing.

Three different call periods for SME Support for 1707 Order-based R&D Projects have been defined for the year 2025:

Project applications will be accepted through the Technology and Innovation Funding Programs Administration (TEYDEB) Project Evaluation Monitoring System (PRODİS) on 2 January 2025.

2504 –Bilateral Cooperation Support Programme with Italy National Research Council (CNR) 2024 call scientific review process has been concluded. Information on the 6 projects that were decided to be supported by TÜBİTAK and CNR shared below.

In Eurostars-3 calls, bottom-up, international R&D projects with a civilian purpose, are funded led by innovative SMEs, regardless of any technology field or sector. Within this call, joint international R&D projects aimed at developing market-oriented innovative products, processes and services will be funded with the participation of at least one Turkish and one foreign organization from any Eurostars member country. It is aimed to support innovative SMEs to increase their R&D, innovation capacity and productivity, and to help them reach into global value chains and new markets. In line with this goal, the results of the 1709 Eureka-Eurostars 2024-2 Call, which supports consortium stakeholders from Türkiye have been announced.

There was an increase in the number of applications in the 1709 2024-2 call compared to previous calls. 112 institutions and organizations from Türkiye applied with 66 projects. The international evaluation process of the projects has been completed. In this call, there was an increase in the number of projects shortlisted in the international 2nd stage evaluation as well. It was decided to support 4 of the 8 shortlisted projects. The other 4 projects could not be supported as a result of the consortium partners operating in countries other than Türkiye not being able to receive funds from the relevant country's funding agencies due to lack of funds.

You can access the lists of the projects that were decided to be supported and the other projects that were shortlisted in the international 2nd stage evaluation, from the links below.
