NEW CALL FOR AID FROM THE IISPV FOR THE COMMON SCIENTIFIC PROJECT

Object

1) Objectives:

1. Promote research, transfer and dissemination of results to society
2. Promote collaborative work between inter and intra-area groups
3. Promote emerging groups.

 

2) Types of actions to be financed:

1. Training, communication or dissemination actions organized by IISPV groups and expenses derived from attending conferences where an R2/R3 researcher or a clinical researcher with a doctorate presents collaborative work in oral format.
2. Grants for open access publications (Open Access). It is essential that the first and last signers are IISPV researchers and that the IISPV affiliation is stated.
3. Pilot projects or proofs of concept that may lead to larger projects and that are preferably developed between two or more groups within the area.
4. Networking events between research groups to promote collaborative projects, and encourage innovation and knowledge transfer.

 

3) Requirements

For all actions, it is an essential requirement that they be organized and that at least two groups from the same area participate. In the case of groups from two or more different areas, the decision will be agreed upon by the coordinators of the areas involved.

 

4) Submission of applications:

  • There will be 4 annual calls (1 quarterly). In each call, the coordinator of the area will prioritize one of the 4 types of actions to be financed and all researchers will be informed (email, newsletter). This prioritization does not prevent applications from any of the 4 types from being submitted in each call.
  • The call will be open the first 10 days of the months of January, April, July and October.
  • The application must be authorized by the person responsible for the groups involved through a form available on the IISPV website. The application must include a summary of the proposal, dates, budget and amount requested, among other data.

 

5) Amount:

There is a maximum amount of funding per type:
– Training, communication, or dissemination activities: 2,000 euros
– Attendance at conferences: 500 euros
– Aid for open access publication: 1,000 euros
– Pilot projects or proof of concept: 3,000 euros
– Networking events: 500 euros

*At the end of the year, depending on budget availability, exceptions may be made to the amounts indicated.

6) Evaluation criteria:

  • Scientific impact and relevance of the proposal for the research area (30%)
  • Potential for interdisciplinary collaboration and promotion of emerging groups (40%)
  • Viability and clarity of the proposal, including justification of the requested budget (15%)
  • Innovation and originality of the proposed activity or project (15%)

 

7) Evaluation committee:

It will be made up of the coordinator of the corresponding area, two researchers from the area designated by the steering advisory committee (CAD) and the person responsible for the OT. In the event of a conflict of interest (COI)* the researcher will abstain from participating in the evaluation. The decisions made by the evaluation committee are final and will not admit a period of objections.

*The researcher will be considered to have a COI when the application belongs to his/her own research group or comes from a group with which he/she maintains a close collaboration, either through joint projects or more than three publications in the last three years.
