Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Assessment Report 42
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding • Question 1 Does the Application align with the specific Technology Priority? – What is the clear “centre of gravity” of the Application and is it aligned with the specific technology priority? – Does the Application address the research objectives and topics it claims to address?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding • Question 2 What is Innovative about the Project? – To what degree is the project innovative? For example, does it push boundaries over and beyond current leading-edge world science and technology, or is it looking purely to apply existing technologies in new areas?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding • Question 3 Does the Application identify why DTI funding is required? – Does the application identify the difference DTI support will make? For example, what is the criticality of funding requirement with respect to project initiation; quality of results; scale and timing of potential benefits? What is the nature of the market failure occasioning the need for DTI support? – What is the missed opportunity if DTI does not support this project? Is it in sufficient detail, and is the degree of projected additionality also demonstrated?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk • Question 4 What are the expected project results and how do they align to industrial and commercial needs? – Is the project industrially and/or commercially relevant? Is there the potential for broader use? – Have the Applicants indicated the likely scale of change and is it reasonable?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk • Question 5 What are the economic benefits for this project and who is likely to benefit? – Have the Applicants distinguished between the economic benefits that will accrue to them and the consortia from the project, as distinct from the economic benefits that may accrue to others in the wider community? How have the estimates of economic benefit been expressed? Are the risks, or uncertainties, made clear, and are they reflected in the estimates?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk • Question 6 How will the project results be exploited? – To what extent does the Application demonstrate a possible commercial application of the project results? – How do the Applicants intend to disseminate or exploit the results?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk • Question 7 What are the environmental and social impacts of undertaking the project, and how significant are they relative to the economic benefits? – Sustainable development balances economic growth with protection of the environment and social impacts. – Have the Applicants demonstrated that they have assessed the environmental and social impacts? Is their assessment realistic? – If adverse environmental or social impacts are anticipated, how does the project mitigate these? Is this realistic?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk • Question 8 What and where are the risks with this project? – Have Applicants clearly identified the elements within the project that have high uncertainty and the associated level of risk? – Are the risks soundly based? Are they reasonable and logical for the proposed project objective, for example? – Have the Applicants clearly identified the technical, commercial, and managerial risks associated with the project?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management • Question 9 What are the benefits of creating the proposed consortium? – Are the consortia formation objectives clear and would it have been formed without DTI funding? Is extra benefit demonstrated from the collaboration for example increased knowledge transfer?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management • Question 10 How will the proposed consortia partners be organised and what arrangements are proposed for the duration of the project? – Are there any existing formal arrangements in place between the consortia partners? If not, have the Applicants identified the future arrangements? Have they provided an overview of how potential benefits from the project will be shared between the consortia partners?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management • Question 11 What is the financial commitment required for this project? – Have the Applicants provided a detailed budget breakdown? Is it inclusive of all anticipated costs throughout the duration of the project? Where appropriate, are capital and depreciation costs clearly identified? For example, new equipment. Is the budget realistic for the scale and complexity of the project?
Technology Programme November 2004 Tom Harris Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management • Question 11 What is the financial commitment required for this project? (cont. ) – Does the financial support required from the DTI fit within the limits set by the specific Technology Priority? Is a financial commitment from other sources demonstrated for the balance of the project costs?
