TECHNOLOGYTRANSITION FUND
EVALUATION PROCESS
The selection of Technology Transition Grant awards will be made through an open, rigorous, transparent, competitive, and merit-based process consistent with international standards for funding research and innovation projects. All Full Proposals submitted in response to this Call for Proposals will be evaluated by independent experts. The evaluation process consists of sequential steps:
Proposal Screening
Ignite will ensure that the Principal Investigator and the lead institution submitting each Proposal is eligible to submit, the project aligns with one of the priority thematic areas, and that the necessary industry collaborators (and the mandatory co-financing) are identified.
Desk Evaluation of Full Project Proposal (FPP)

Presentation before Expert Panel
The core team of shortlisted proposal will pitch their idea/solution to a panel of experts including international academic leaders and subject matter experts. The Expert Panel will assess each proposal according to a scoring rubric and recommend the proposal for final approval.
Negotiation and Implementation
The final budget for each selected TTF budget will be negotiated with PI on basis of feedback provided through the evaluation and selection process.
