  10. CNPSTI-STPG Projects Phases 4 1 2 3 Approval Solicitation & Proposal Formal Evaluation Technical Evaluation • Projects are announced on the CNPSTI portal beginning of each year • The deadlines of submitting proposals are end of March and October of every year • Initial formal evaluation is conducted at STU • Formal evaluation of compliance with established procedures • Second formal evaluation is conducted at KACST • Technical evaluation is conducted through the peer review process • AAAS • Approval is sought from the Supervisory Committee • Project Funding is managed through Secretariat of the CNPSTI • Project Funding is executed through STU

  11. CNPSTI-STPG Projects Policies Proposals are initially reviewed at STUs based on the following criteria: • The proposal must be complete • The PI must be qualified to execute the project • The project must be evaluated for legal and ethical compliance • The project must not have been conducted before or a replicate Proposals are then reviewed at the CNPSTI secretariat based on the following criteria: • The proposal must be complete and written as per the standard format provided by CNPSTI. • The project must be viable and tackling a problem in one area of the programs of the Strategic Technologies as described by CNPSTI. • The project must not have been conducted before.

  12. Technical Evaluation Conducted by AAAS Analyze the Proposal Against the Following Criteria The quality of the proposal research: • Is the proposed research innovative? • Can it contribute significantly to the state of knowledge in its field? • How does the proposes research compared to established programs? The impact of proposed program: • Advance discovery and understanding • Enhance the infrastructure for research • Potential impact on institution, benefits to society The path to success: reasonable costs, time, resources

  13. Rating Rating the proposal against each criteria using a scale from 1 (very impressive) to 5 (seriously flows against criteria) Reviewers provide evaluation reports along with funding recommendation Highly recommended Recommended Not recommended

  14. Funding and Follow-up • Funding is provided in predetermined installments as per the funding contract between the PI and KACST • PI is required to submit financial and technical reports to the Director of the STU every 6 months • PI is required to submit final financial and technical reports to the STU upon project completion • Technical Reports must highlight the following, • The achievements during the period of the report and progress towards achieving objectives • The technical problems faced by the investigators during that period, if any • An updated project plan with proposed changes if required • Risk management and quality assurance reports

  15. Funding and Follow-up • Financial Reports must highlight the following, • Incurred expenses • Time charged for all personnel on project • Funding is immediately amended if the project reports fail to reflect proposal plans

  16. CNPSTI-STPG Projects Policies • Change of Goals, Budget or Duration: • Any changes of project goals or objectives, if requested, must be evaluated by the same merit reviewers who approved the funding • The budget shifts, if requested, must be approved by the CNPSTI secretariat • Project duration, if requested, must be approved by the CNPSTI secretariat
