Review process
- EOIs will be reviewed, in first instance, by external science advisors and ranked according to science quality.
- The AFH Steering Committee (SC) conducts an internal review to assess: (i) strategic fit (Arla and University perspective), (ii) business relevance (Arla perspective) and (iii) the science quality as ranked by external science advisors. Projects with a high science quality rating but low business relevance, or low strategic fit, will not be selected.
- AFH SC approves final selection of projects to be funded for the call. All EOIs should comprise proof of concept studies or additional activities to ongoing projects, and thus levels of funding are commensurate with this type of projects. For an indication of levels of funding, researchers can visit the section on funded research.
- The Head of AFH communicates decision to principal investigators (PIs) for selected projects, including any requirement for amendments to EOI.
