The committee’s final proposal is to fund applications with the same cutoff point in all three competitions: 27\/36 points (75%).<\/p>\n One application was submitted, formally satisfactory. The application, assessed at 22 points, will not be funded.<\/p>\n Six applications were submitted, all formally satisfactory. Five applications received the required number of points, for a total value (after reasonable reductions in some cost estimates): PLN 34,160.<\/p>\n A total of 129 applications were submitted, including 17 unfinished or duplicate applications (a duplicate application is the same application mistakenly submitted a second time).<\/p>\n Formal Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n Thirty-one applications were rejected for formal reasons, including three due to a lack of supervisor confirmation and 29 due to a failure to declare any evaluation outcome (one application was rejected for both reasons). At the very beginning of the meeting, after analyzing the financial situation and the regulations, the Committee decided not to fund applications that did not include a declaration of evaluation outcome. This primarily concerned applicants who, instead of a publication, grant application, or other evaluated achievement, listed, for example, a paper delivered, an internship, a dissertation chapter, etc. in the “Estimated result of the planned project” field.<\/p>\n Substantial Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n The committee evaluated a total of 81 applications for a total amount of PLN 409,032.53, including:<\/p>\n Based on the evaluation and after rationally reducing some cost estimates, the committee decided to fund 35 applications for a total amount of PLN 149,663.95, including:<\/p>\n TOTAL<\/strong><\/p>\n In three competitions, the committee decided to fund 40 applications for a total amount of PLN 183,763.95.<\/p>\n The results are published in a form of a list of funded applications.
