I.Proposal’s context, positioning and objective(s)

About five pages (5),

I.1.Objectives and scientific hypotheses

State the issue being addressed. Present the project’s objectives and scientific and technical barriers to be lifted. Emphasise the ambitious nature and/or novelty of the proposal. Possibly describe any final products developed, present the expected results.

I.2.Originality and relevance in relation to the state of the art

Present state of knowledge on the subject. Show the possible contributions of project partners to said state of the art. Please list any preliminary results.

Where relevant, describe the project’s background by presenting, depending on the objectives envisaged, an analysis of social, economic, regulatory, environmental, industrial implications etc. Specify the project’s positioning in this context: towards competing, complementary, and previous research projects, patents and standards...

In the case of project proposals following up on previous project(s) already funded by ANR or by another body, this must be mentioned in the document (a table will be indicated in section II.3about these proposal’s financial and administrative details). Provide a summary of the results achieved and clearly describe the new issues raised and the new objectives set out in the light of the earlier project.

Position the project at the national level (specify any links with a structure or a regional /national structure, with a project supported through the Investments for the Future programme etc.), and other European and international programmes.

I.3.Risk management and methodology

Describe the methods and technical decisions, risks and fall-back solutions envisaged.

II.Project organisation and means implemented

About ten (10) pages

If the project is collaborative (PRC, PRCE, PRCI),

II.1.Scientific coordinator

Indicate scientific coordinator’s experience (for each of the scientific coordinators from each individual country in the case of PRCI) and their roles in the project (please provide CV in an annex).

II.2.Consortium

Present the consortium and its complementarity

Demonstrate the quality and the complementary nature of the consortium (CVs of principal scientific leaders in the annex).

Where appropriate, demonstrate the link between scientific disciplines andthe complementary nature of skills called upon. Specify the main references of the relevant consortium in the field with a direct link to the proposal (publications, R&D highlights, patents, scientific prizes, products, processes, licenses, services, etc.), and all other items providing a framework for judging the quality of partners and consortia where appropriate.

II.3.Means of achieving the objectives

Describe the means to achieve the objectives.

Set out the scientific programme and justify the work programme's task breakdown with regard to the objectives being pursued.

For each task, list the objectives and potential indicators of success, the leader and partners involved, the complete work programme, deliverables, partners' contributions, methods and technical decisions, risks, and fall-back solutions.

Timetable for respective tasks and their dependencies may be included if justified and presented as charts (e.g. Gantt chart).

For research projects dealing with subjects that may harm humans, animals, or the environment, discuss the ethical aspects of the project.

Indicate, if necessary, the conditions of access to a very large research infrastructure (TGIR).

Provide partner-by-partner scientific and technical justification (including foreign partners for PRCI) of the resources sought, per major expenditure items in accordance with the information filled in on the website and with ANR’s grant allocation procedures.
