1 Proposals with the same score were ranked according to the priority order procedure set out in the call conditions (for HE, in the General Annexes to the Work Programme or specific arrangements in the specific call/topic conditions). To determine the ranking for ‘Innovation actions’, the score for ‘Impact’ is given a weight of 1.5.

2 According to the specific conditions of HUMAN-14 and HUMAN-16, to ensure a balanced portfolio coverage, grants are awarded to not only in order of ranking [see the specific condition for each topic in the topic page]. Therefore, additional proposals are retained for funding to fulfil this condition.

Summary of observer report:

The efficiency of the procedures in this call is very good. The tools such as IER, CR, ESR and cross- reading are well suited and the usability is very effective. Harmonisation and calibration procedures are excellent. This is thanks to the superior performance of the moderators and co-moderators in panel meetings with sometimes more than 40 experts under nightmarish conditions of unstable meeting connections, failing in access and interoperability of SEP and WebEx platform. Overall, the evaluation was fair and consistent, with full compliance with the applicable rules.

We recently informed the applicants about the evaluation results for their proposals.
