The project owner company submits the project proposal, after completing the pre-registration and TÜBİTAK’s approval of this pre-registration. Following the preliminary assessment done by TÜBİTAK technical experts, referees are assigned for project evaluation. The referees are academicians with minimum a PhD Degree relevant to the Project subject. These referees are absolutely independent from TÜBİTAK. Reports prepared by referees are evaluated and the final decisions are taken by executive committee of the technology group that has the project proposal application.
It should be noted that if critical issues in contradiction with the call documents are identified during the preliminary assessment, project proposals are rejected without referee evaluations.
