The applications receiving the lowest grades are screened out, and are not discussed in detail by the panel. These statements therefore only include a summary grade.

Approval of conditions – must be signed

If your application has been approved, a document describing the conditions for the grant, “Approval of Conditions”, is also published in your personal Prisma account.
