Research grants are grants awarded to researchers to carry out scientific and technological activities in a full commitment regime. The grant allocation process includes several phases between the application and the disclosure of the results. After submission, and after being checked for its admissibility, applications were assessed separately by two researchers recognized in the respective scientific field, using external experts when needed. After the results were published, in July, applicants with unfavourable decisions had 10 days to appeal.
