Evaluation is made only on the documents uploaded to the system. For this reason, the document regarding each condition must be uploaded to the system via application forms in a clear and specified content. Documents containing only a web page link will not be taken into consideration.
Evaluation base scores can be determined separately for projects in social and human sciences, basic sciences, technical sciences, health sciences and agricultural sciences.
The evaluation results are discussed by Group Executive Board and presented to the Presidency. Applications to be supported and support amounts are finalized with the approval of the Presidency.
