Some Information For Project Funding Europe

By Joshua Barnes


At this moment in time you may be looking for funding for your project. You are very excited about it and have just finished the proposal and feasibility study attached to it, and all you need is project funding Europe. If you are thinking of getting some funding for your research form a European funding agency then do read on.

Do wait for announcements for calls for proposals on the internet or even in standard paper dailies. On the internet they are usually placed in government websites and fund agency sites. In general the proposals cover multi discipline studies, but sometimes they will specify if they need a specific discipline or field only. Determine where your proposal will fit and study the submission guidelines and also deadlines for it. These call for proposals usually occur during the first half of any given year.

Prior to your submission, it may not hurt to get a grant expert to look over your proposal. Many experts dealing with grants do exist out there and they will work for a modest fee. However, some want to be paid by making them part of the project team should the proposal be accepted by the funding agency.

One factor in getting funds from Europe is that you must have a European based partner. This partner can be non governmental or governmental in nature, as long as you do have a European entity as part of the entire project execution. Thus it may be a good idea to get some Memoranda of Agreements and Letters of Intent ready for these European bodies just in case.

Once you have all the necessary modifications and polishing done on it, submit your proposal and hope for the best. Usually these proposal will take up to fourteen weeks to be scrutinized and looked over for viability. In the meantime while you wait you may also work on other things as well.

During the processing of your application, many experts in their fields will look over your project proposal and they will of course generate certain questions and clarifications for you to discuss with the. However, these questions will not be mailed to you, but instead they will set up an interview panel with you to give you a chance to give your pitch. If you are scheduled for such, then you know that you have a good chance of getting it approved.

At the interview panel, there will usually be five experts to ask you questions. Thus you should be there with a select few members of your team as well should they ask very specific questions. You an prepare in general for this interview by brushing up on your ideas about viability, how the parameters will be monitored and evaluated, and if there will be an impact analysis done as a follow up once the project ends. These parts of the interview are usually given heavy weight in terms of points.

Should you pass this stage and be given the grant, expect a month to pass before you get any solid response. Once approved, do expect that they will just hand you the money on a silver platter. You will still need to submit project plan worksheets, man hour computations, monitoring and evaluation and such. You also will need to pass in terms of references for all team members, both present and for ones in the future as well.
