Application procedure

The application procedure for research project grants within GENDER-NET Plus is a two-step process. The consortium application is first submitted in a Pre-proposal format. After initial review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a Full proposal. Both the pre-proposal and the Full proposal are subject to a peer-review process and ranked in competition with the other proposals.

The application of the joint Collaborative Research Project (CRP) to the GENDER-NET Plus is to be submitted by the international Project Coordinator.

As a Principal Investigator (PI) of a Swedish partner in a consortium you shall in parallel register corresponding applications (Pre-proposal/Project outline and Full proposal) electronically in Prisma, which is the application system used by the Swedish Research Council. More information is available under the heading “How do I apply”, found below.

The content of the pre-proposal/project outline form in Prisma will be automatically transferred to the full proposal form if your consortium is invited by the GENDER-NET Plus to submit a Full proposal. You will then need to update the content of your application so that it corresponds to the full consortium application submitted to GENDER-NET Plus, and to amend the section Ethical considerations. More information is available under the heading “What must the application contain”, found below.
