Project proposal evaluation requested by the Dutch Research Council

Description

Project proposal evaluation requested by NWO (the Dutch Research Council, the governmental science funding body in the Netherlands).

Open Competition/Aim of the programme
ENW-M grants are intended for curiosity-driven fundamental scientific research with impact. Impact includes both scientific and societal impact, and the program allows a choice between scientific impact, societal impact, or both.
ENW-M grants give researchers the opportunity and freedom to initiate or to build on excellent, challenging, and innovative research lines, both monodisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary. ENW-M funding focuses on small-scale research projects in which a concrete research project is central. An investment may be crucial to properly carry out the high-quality proposed research. Research projects in method development or instrumentation development also fall within the scope of this funding instrument. These projects, like the other proposals, are assessed based on quality and impact.
This funding instrument is open for proposals with a research question in or overlapping the fields of earth sciences, astronomy, chemistry, computer science, life sciences, physics and mathematics. Proposals can be monodisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary. For applications with a (partial) domain-overarching and/or ZonMw component, the core of the research proposal should fit one or more of the seven disciplines of the Domain Science.
