Submitting a project proposal to CBCS

CBCS accepts proposals for collaborative projects from researchers active at all Swedish academic institutions. A collaboration always starts in the form of an informal meeting and the objective of this meeting is to introduce the project in general, and to evaluate the terms of the collaboration, resource requirements/availability (from both parties), timelines, strategies, etc.

If all parties decide that a collaboration would be fruitful, the research group is asked to submit a formal project proposal to be presented to an independent Project Review Committee (PRC). The PRC meets biannually and assists CBCS in the prioritization of incoming projects based on project proposals.

PRC evaluation criteria

**Overall Scientific Rationale and Impact**
**Importance of CBCS efforts in the project**
**Availability of (or validated plans for) secondary assays and test models**
**Plans for validation of developed molecules**
**Technical feasibility**
**Resource requirements**
**Publication strategy**

Checklist

In due time before the proposal deadline (>2 weeks), contact a CBCS representative to set up a meeting to discuss your project.
Visit SciLifeLab Anubis and find the “Call for Larger Project Support from CBCS”. The call is open twice a year.
Fill in the Project Proposal Form found in the open call and consult your CBCS contact for project details and questions on the form.
Upload the application in due time.

Note! CBCS resources are limited and thus we are sometimes forced to decline involvement in proposals.
