Calculation of the applicant's working time

The amount of time must correspond to the objectives, role in the project, results and evaluation of the person. Zero hours are not allowed. The provider sets a minimum of 0,2 hours per project per employer for the researcher/co-researcher. For the purposes of the project proposal, it is possible for the sum of all the person's full-time hours covered by the provider's dedicated support to exceed 100%. In the event of multiple projects being accepted, it is subsequently necessary to reduce the full-time equivalents on the projects to a maximum of 100% of the sum of all full-time equivalents.

Examples:

  1. Option - the applicant already has a running project where he has a 50% time commitment. It is possible to submit several project proposals (in different roles of proposer, team member), in which he/she will have 80% time in each, however, in case of acceptance of several projects, it is necessary to reduce the time on the projects to the maximum amount of the sum of all time 100%! In this case, an explanation must be provided in the project proposal as to how all projects will be handled simultaneously at the appropriate scientific level without adversely affecting the progress and outputs of the individual projects.
  2. Option - the applicant has no running project. In this case, again, if more than one project is accepted and the total time commitment is more than 100%, again the applicant must explain in the proposals for such projects how it will be able to ensure that they are addressed without adversely affecting their quality. In both cases, staffing levels and their efficiency are part of a comprehensive evaluation.
