FAQ

Do existing framework contracts have to be submitted to new checks for best price for value (if they exist for several years already and have only be made, say in 2005 after evaluating 3 offers)?

According to the Annotated Model Grant Agreement, ‘framework contract must (have) be(en) awarded on the basis of best-value-for-money and absence of conflict of interest.’ Moreover, general eligibility conditions such as compliance with the principles of sound financial management, apply. There is no rule that explicitly requires a re-evaluation of the framework contract after several years.Nike Air Max 97

How can you distinct between subcontracts and cost for services as service contracts in research projects?

To a large extend, the distinction between contracts and subcontracts is project-specific. If the work to be outsourced is defined as an action task in Annex 1 of the Grant Agreement, the related contract is considered a subcontract. In contrast, a contract does not cover the implementation of an action task, but is necessary for the implementation of a task by beneficiaries themselves.Nike Zoom Vomero 14

What does "NIDs" stand for?

NID = Neglected Infectious Diseases, otherwise also known as Neglected Tropical Diseases.

When do you expect the EDCTP work plan 2015 to be approved? When is the decision?

The work plan for 2015 is currently being reviewed by the European Commission and EDCTP expects a decision no earlier than September 2015.

How can a third party be added to an application in the EDCTP system? Would a third party be a co-applicant? Is there another way to add third parties other than as full partner participant?

Third-party involvement can be mentioned in the body of the application but currently there are no specific fields requesting this information. All technical questions regarding the application form should be addressed to edctpgrants@edctp.org directly, and for specific questions on the different types of participants to be added in a proposal, please contact the Project Officer (see name and e-mail in the Call Text) in charge of the Call.

Why are charts, etc. figures not allowed at the first stage of the call? It is difficult to describe a complicated trial flow chart in a text.

It is correct that in case of applications in two stages, at the Letter of Intent stage there is no requirement to include figures, charts or other graphics in submitted proposals. In the Letter of Intent stage of this call, the only criteria that are used for the evaluation of the proposals are Excellence and Impact.

How can entities from Switzerland participate?

Swiss legal entities are considered entities from a third country not associated to Horizon 2020. This means that Swiss legal entities can participate in EDCTP-funded projects but are not eligible to receive funding and will not count towards the minimum number of legal entities required for a proposal (see the specific eligibility criteria for each call for proposals).

What are the specific eligibility criteria for the lead applicant?

There are no specific eligibility criteria in relation to a lead applicant other than the eligibility criteria specified in the call text. Please see the call text for specific requirements. Prior to signing the grant agreement, EDCTP will assess the capacity of the lead applicant’s institution to administer and manage the grant.Crazy BYW PW Boost

Can ‘cofunding’ come from the applicant’s own institutional resources instead of from other funders?

Cofunding can be provided by either public or private legal entities from across the world, including the institution of the lead applicant. Please note however that one of the EDCTP objectives is to promote international research cooperation.Mujer

Can funding from WHO be included in the budget?

Funding from WHO can be considered as cofunding (additional funding on top of the EDCTP grant amount).
