Aiken, Leuven, February 2007 Meeting withLeuvenresearch coordination office, May, 2007 Contacts LA (IHOS) and WS (WISECARE, EANS) networks EANS summerschool Writing first proposal: summer 2007 September 6-7, Leuven meeting withpartners Contact EU-officer K. McCarthy Contacts withPoland Finalisingproposal and submitting Sept. 18, 2007

  10. Writing a good proposalcriterion1: S/T Excellence • Put a lot of effort in « concepts & objectives » • Educate the evaluator • Likely not a « real expert » • Use facts & figures, schemes & illustrations • Balance: scientific >< popular • Write to the point • Structure yourtext (alineas, bold,…) • Quantifyyour arguments • 30-seconds-rule • Whybother (whatis the problem?) • Is it a Europeanproblem? • Solution alreadyavailable? • Whynow (whathappens if we do not fundthis?) • Whyyou (are you the best consortium?) Thanks to Stijn Delauré and Leuvenonderzoekscoordinatie, Leuven meeting 6-7 Sept 2007

  11. Criterion 2: implementation • Building an excellent consortium • Provide a balanced mix • Eachpartnershouldadd value • Experienced manager, good leaders • Appropriate management structure • Handling conflicts, decisionmaking, care for quality, division of work • Follow-up of milestones, decisions, … • IPR-management

  12. Criterion 3: Impact • Writedeliverables in the words of end-user (cfr. Call) • Involve end-users in the project (e.g. advisoryboard) • Answer questions: • How does the projectaddress EU challenges ? • How can the project affect citizens ? • How is the uptake in healthindustryarranged/ organized ?

  13. Evaluation RN4CAST • Evaluation by panels of independent experts • Criteria: • Scientific and technological excellence (5/5) • Implementation & management (4,5/5) • Potential impact (5/5) • Total (14,5/15) • Remarks (for negotiation) • Change in environment and location of care • The role and participation of ICPC to bebetterexplained; workenvironmentspecialist inclusion and selection. • Grant: 2,999,988 Euro

  14. More detailed feedback (1) • Scientific / technological excellence • Two main methods of nurse forecasting • Empirical measures of workplace dynamics and their effects on nurse retention & productivity • Links between management of nurse resources and quality/safety of care • Key strength: 11 European countries + 3 outside Europe • Critical mass of data (20-50 hospitals/country), one of the largest nurse workforce investigation in Europe • High validity, allowing global modeling • 30y forecasting: need to consider change in environment and location of care

  15. Implementation & management (2) • Positive • Good management structure • Several committees: steering, technical, stakeholder, evaluation • Clear milestones & deliverables • Link to reference group of interested countries is commendable • High expertise: universities, US participation is useful and justified, … • Suggestions • Role of ICPC should be more explained and selection of countries justified. • Inclusion of work environment specialist should be recommended • Possibility of consortium having underestimated the resources required

  16. Potential impact (3) • Contribution to current EU programmes are identified • Help policy makers in different level of performance in relation to future movement of patients and staff • Help in global assessment of EU health care systems • Will help EU in the development of an extended research community capable of addressing this and related issues in the future.
