Aim and Objectives
The aim of Lead Agency Procedure is promoting international scientific
collaboration as a driving force for excellence. The cooperation agreement
concluded by agencies from different countries enables researchers to apply for
a joint project at one of the agencies (the Lead Agency). It simplifies the
submission and evaluation of transnational applications. The application must be
prepared in accordance with the formal guidelines of the Lead Agency. The
project parts should be closely integrated and there should be scientific input
from both sides.
Target Audience
In Slovenia: applicants from Slovenian
research organizations.
Procedural Principles
The joint project application is submitted to the research funding
organization (RFO) acting as Lead Agency (LA). The application must follow the
application guidelines of the LA. The application consists of a joint scientific
description of the project, delineating the scientific contributions of the
respective partners. The LA administers the evaluation process in accordance
with its standard procedures that apply for the respective funding programme.
The partner RFOs agree on an international peer review procedure.
The LA forwards the result of the review process to the partner RFO
(funding/rejection), including the complete and non-anonymised reviews. The
partner RFO presents the result of the review process to its decision body and
asks for the confirmation of the LA’s decision. Should the decision of the LA
not be followed, an explanation for this must be provided to the LA. In case of
approval, the project parts will be financed by the respective RFO in accordance
with its standard practices. Intermediary and final reports will be carried out
in accordance with national guidelines.
