How can we assist you? Key deadlines and selected support functions:

As early as possible	Contact the BOA team to clarify the need for support (contact information on the right). We can make a plan for application development and support until the application deadline. A research advisor can assist in assessing whether the project's concept is in line with the requirements of the targeted program.
When the online portal opens	Create an e-application and give access to a research advisor and project economist. We can assist with quality assurance of the e-application (administrative information).
No later than 3 weeks before the deadline (for the best possible support)	Send an overview of costs (number and type of positions, project period and other expenses) to the project economist who assists with the preparation of the budget. Send a draft of your project description for review. The research advisor gives input on whether the application is in line with the call for proposals, whether all formal criteria are met, readability and layout (1-2 rounds of evaluation).
No later than 2 weeks before the deadline	Approval of the final budget from the head of department (and faculty if necessary). Drafting and signing of letters of intent.
The last week	A research advisor can assist with a final quality check of the e-application (administrative information) and relevant attachments.
