The Agenda Committee (AC) integrated by Dr. Cristóbal Cobo, Dr. Antonio Battro, Eng. Fernando Brum, Dr. Adriana Aristimuño and Dr. Andrés Peri made the evaluation of the project ideas. 20 proposals were prioritized according to the following aspects:
- Originality and clarity of the presentation of the proposal;
- Feasibility of transferring knowledge generated in research to, educators, educational policy makers, or end users;
- Potential linkage to international research groups;
- Research team background;
- Contribution to the country’s human resource training and capacity building.
After this stage, the Evaluation and Monitoring Committee (EMC) proceeded to carry out the technical evaluation of each of the complete projects. To this end, the EMC selected two external evaluators (national and foreign) for each project.
During the process, 35 evaluators participated in a total of 40 evaluations through the ANII online evaluation system.
Taking as input both the external evaluations and the applicant’s discharges, the EMC produced an academic opinion for each one of the projects. The final product of the EMC was an ordered ranking of all projects. Based upon this ranking the AC made the final selection of the 5 projects to be financed.
The following table shows the selected projects and the amount financed in each case:
