NCN project application preparation
After reviewing the NCN call schedule and deciding to submit an application for an NCN project, the Principal Investigator:
- establishes contact with the Head of the Section for Research and Publications , who designates the Section staff member acting as the application supervisor;
- registers the project application form in the ZSUN-OSF system and, at the same time, grants the application supervisor auxiliary editor status;
- contacts the application supervisor and determines which parts of the form may initially be completed by the Section staff member;
- completes the remaining parts of the application form;
- may obtain suggestions from the Section regarding the proposed budget and, if needed, other parts of the application;
- provides final approval of all sections of the application.
The application supervisor forwards the application for the Rector’s signature via BOB. After the signed documents are obtained, the application supervisor uploads the relevant attachments to the system and informs the Principal Investigator that the project application is ready for submission to the NCN.
The Principal Investigator submits the application to the NCN via the ZSUN-OSF system.
If an application is submitted to an institution other than the NCN (domestic or foreign), the Principal Investigator of the grant/order/expertise reports this to the Section for Research and Publications by email at . This enables the application to be registered and monitored from a formal perspective, including compliance with the University of Warsaw regulations, and facilitates substantive support (if needed).
All applications must be submitted to the Section for Research and Publications at least 7 days before the deadline of the relevant call. If necessary, applications are forwarded via the Section to the Dean or the Rector for signature.
We encourage you to participate in trainings organised by the NCN for applicants. Registration and detailed information are available on the website: Information meetings and trainings for applicants (NCN) .
