COFUND: What is the role of supervisors in the evaluation process?

Supervisors MUST NOT have any role in the selection/recruitment process, drafting the proposal or final decision-making process on the candidacies.
However, applicants may contact a supervisor/research manager during the application process for scientific advice, to discuss the research being proposed, obtain information about expertise/infrastructure available.
NO prior approval of the application (from either the proposed supervisor or host organisation) can be required as part of the submission process, as this constitutes pre-selection.
