Frequently Asked Questions
How do I complete the reports?
The Technical and Financial reports must be completed in cooperation with the Authority's EU financial team.
The head of the EU financial team is Ms. Ortal Arie (ortalar@savion.huji.ac.il, 02-6586621).
The reports are completed in an online template accessed through the Grant Management Services area via the Funding & Tenders portal.
To access the reports, follow these instructions "How to Access the Reports".
When are reports due?
The reporting periods are stated in the agreement. The reports are due 60 days after the end of each reporting period and consist of a Technical and Financial Report and/or Scientific Report.
When will the budget be opened?
The budget opens right before the start date of the project as mentioned in the agreement with the EU, following the signature of the EU on the agreement and the completion of all project details in the Authority for R&D's Research System by the PI.
When can a project start?
During the Grant Agreement Preparations, the PI must choose a start date for the project. There are two options for start date:
- The first day of the month following the signature of the agreement by both parties. This is the earliest date possible.
- A later “fixed” start date on the first day of the month as agreed between the PI and the EU. In this case, the PI will be required to provide a justification.
Who can help me with the ethical questions?
|
After the grant was approved, and before signing the Grant Agreement, the PI will receive an email requesting all necessary clarifications. |
Who signs the grant agreement?
The grant agreement (GA) is signed by the Authority for Research and Development.
What is the data preparation process?
After the approval of the EU funding for the grant, the process of signature is called Grant Agreement Preparations (GAP).
EU Desk personnel will assist during the process, which may take between several weeks to several months.
In case of a consortium, the GAP process is the responsibility of the Coordinator who will contact the EU Desk for the needed information.
