SummarySummaryProvide a general summary of the research project in approximately 300 words (in English). Please note that this summary serves a different purpose than the public summary, as the summary entered here will be used to approach referees. Therefore, this summary should be the same as the summary you enter in the online system, ISAAC. Incorporate the following points: i) Which question(s) will be answered or which problem(s) will be solved? and ii) Which scientific and/or societal breakthrough is aimed for? Unique selling point(s) Please indicate the project’s unique selling point(s) in approximately 50-100 words.Project descriptionNWA questions and routesWhat is the scientific and/or societal question/problem that your project addresses? Please describe the fit within (parts of) one or more routes of the NWA (more info on the NWA routes can be found here) and if and how your project will contribute to answering one or more of the 140 cluster questions. You can find all questions here in English and in Dutch. If one or more of the chosen NWA-routes have composed an additional research agenda, describe how your project relates to that agenda. Reflect on the matchmaking session that you have attended for your primary NWA route and whether and how any feedback has been implemented in this pre-proposal.BreakthroughsWhat scientific and/or societal breakthroughs are foreseen if your project is successful? Which approach for Knowledge Utilisation fits your project best: 1) Impact Outlook (suitable for projects which are aimed at answering one or more of the cluster questions, no societal impact is foreseen, but where the possibility for societal impact may arise during the project, or it is only possible to describe a general picture of societal impact), or 2) Impact Plan (suitable for projects in which there is a clear picture of the desired societal impact). Choose one of the two approaches (for an explanation of both approaches, see Chapter 2 of the call for proposals NWA-ORC 2020/21) and indicate why this approach fits your project best. Consortium and stakeholdersIn the following questions, you are asked to describe which consortium partners and stakeholders are needed to achieve the desired breakthrough(s) (see 3.2). (Conducting a stakeholder analysis could be useful to identify which consortium partners and other stakeholders are key and need to be engaged in the formulation and execution of the project. Stakeholder analysis should be a joint effort with all consortium partners.) ConsortiumPlease give a description of the consortium: - Describe the relevant knowledge chain partners and the role the consortium partners and stakeholders had in the development of the proposal (co-design). - Describe why and how these consortium partners are involved and what their role and contribution is in the project execution (co-creation). - Describe the complementarities in the (disciplinary) expertise of the consortium partners (along the knowledge chain, variety of disciplines), why these specific disciplines fit the problem, and how these specific disciplines contribute to tackle the problem.- In the case of international cooperation partners, substantiate that the expertise concerned is not available in the Netherlands at the desired level for the project.Management of the consortiumDescribe shortly how the consortium and project will be managed.Diversity of the consortiumDescribe shortly how the consortium takes into account diversity aspects such as gender and age.Knowledge Utilization by the consortiumDescribe shortly how the consortium will manage the activities related to knowledge utilization.Plan for involvement and development of young and mid-level researchers within the projectDescribe shortly how the project will contribute to the development of the talented young researchers that are part of the consortium (i.e. postdocs, tenure-track candidates and university lecturers). Please note that we do not ask you do submit complete career development plans.StakeholdersWhich external stakeholders, in addition to the consortium partners, are involved in order to achieve the breakthroughs? Clearly indicate specific expertise of the stakeholders, how this relates to the breakthroughs of the project and the role of the stakeholder(s) in project execution. Scientific description The description in this section should clearly link to sections 3.1. and 3.2.- Please describe the objectives of the research project. - Please describe the research questions guiding the project.- Explain what makes the research proposal challenging, original and innovative. - Give an indication of the position of the project in the national and international research landscape.Schematic overview of projectPresent in scheme 1 how the proposed project is divided in research lines and work packages and indicate which consortium partners are involved in each of the research lines and work packages. Please describe the work packages only in general terms (maximum 5 words, either keywords or title) and who are involved in each work package. No more detail is needed.Scheme 1 Schematic overview of project – division into work packages *Research lines / Work packages if applicable – otherwise remove (if the structure of the project is different, you may rearrange the columns)Research lines*Work packages*Knowledge chain partnersInvolved societal partners1. 1.1 1.21.3 etc.2. Reference listStatements by the main applicantOther grant applicationsPlease indicate below each proposal (to be) submitted to NWO or other funding agencies by you or by members of your research group or by your consortium partners on the same research topic as the current pre-proposal. Describe the difference (give a percentage) of the current proposal with the other proposals. Please bear in mind that NWO does not fund the same/similar research twice. Copy and paste the table as many times as needed.Title proposal:Applicant(s):Funding agency and call:Budget applied for:Date of submission:Estimated date of decision:Difference with this proposal (percentage):Describe difference:By submitting this form I declare that:? I have completed this form truthfully;?

The application must be submitted from the account of the main applicant. For any technical questions regarding submission, please contact the ISAAC helpdesk (isaac.helpdesk@nwo.nl).Please note: NWO requests that you, as the main applicant, make at least three and at most five suggestions for foreign referees whom we might consult. The suggested referees may not include persons you have worked with during the past three years, are currently working with you or are expected to be working with. The suggested referees should not be working in the Netherlands. In addition, you have the option to list three people who you prefer not to be asked as referees. Suggestions for referees and names of preferred non-referees can be inserted in ISAAC when you submit your pre-proposal. ................
