GOVPH

Evaluates/checks proposal for duplication, scientific merit and alignment to priority agenda

Informs the applicant of the result of evaluation and furnishes the copy to the OUSEC for R&D and evaluating council concerned

Conducts technical evaluation of the proposal using the Council’s protocol on evaluation of proposal
Secures clearance from Lead Council concerned

If the proposal did not pass the evaluation, informs the proponent, copy furnished OUSEC for R&D, otherwise, informs the proponent to submit a detailed proposal in case initial submission made is a capsule proposal

If approved without comments, processes the approval documents, otherwise informs the evaluating council, copy furnished the Lead Council

If approved with comments, informs the proponent through the evaluating council of the DOST-GIA EXECOM approval and/or instructions/ recommendations;

Processes the approval documents (Memorandum of Agreement/Instruction and approval letter) with clearance from the Evaluating Council to facilitate the release of funds

(Evaluating council will then become the monitoring council for the implementation of the approved project)
