RESTART Programme

As indicated in the Notice of the Callit is the responsibility of the host institution to incur the expenses it deems essential for the implementation and realization of the objectives and work described with a view to the impacts and results set out in the approved proposal. There should also be no flat rate for overheads, although there may be basic operating costs necessary to carry out the project.

It should be noted that insufficient justification of the essential costs of carrying out the project will have an impact on the evaluation of the application. In other words, the description and justification of the budget are subordinate to the scientific proposal presented, in its various specificities, such as scientific area, proposed objectives, methodology, planning, timetable, among other relevant factors for the execution and fulfillment of the science proposed in the research plan.

Expenses declared as insufficiently justified by the evaluation panel, taking into account the research plan submitted, will not be accepted for the development of the project should it be proposed for funding.

The expenses referred to in Article 9 of the Regulation for projects financed exclusively by national funds are difficult to fit into the principles listed in the answer to Question 1 above.

Since this is a pre-existing employment relationship, it will be difficult to justify the fact that this expense is essential for the implementation of the work plan. Therefore, this expense will not be justifiable for the evaluation panel, and therefore accepted within the scope of the project.

It will be difficult to justify that this expenditure is essential for the implementation of the work plan. As such, this expenditure will not be justifiable to the evaluation panel and therefore accepted within the scope of the project.
