SCISTRAT DEPARTMENT/AFSCO UNIT
CLARIFICATION N°4
Call reference: GP/EFSA/AFSCO/2015/01
Call title: New approaches in identifying and characterizing microbiological and chemical
hazards
Question 1:
Since this is to cover interests of EFSA , which is better: to present a broader or more specific project? For
example, what is more advisable, only a project on virus or covering more pathogens? A project only on
seafood or a project that covers more foods.
Dado que se trata de cubrir intereses de EFSA, qué es mejor: presentar un proyecto más amplio o más
específico? Por ejemplo, qué es más aconsejable un proyecto sólo sobre virus o cubriendo más patógenos?
Un proyecto sólo sobre marisco o un proyecto que cubra bastantes más alimentos.
Answer:
The Thematic Call for proposals is different from the targeted approach that we used in recent EFSA
procurements and classic EFSA grants. For this reason the strategic lines are given in the call, and it is left to
the potential applicants to put together proposals, so a priori there is no favouring of any given approach
e.g. single vs. multiple pathogens.
La convocatoria temática de propuestas es diferente del enfoque específico que se utilizó en las últimas
licitaciones y subvenciones clásicas de la EFSA. Por esta razón las líneas estratégicas se dan en la
convocatoria, y se deja a los posibles solicitantes de preparar propuestas, por lo que a priori no hay
favorecimiento de cualquier enfoque dado, por ejemplo solo vs. múltiples patógenos.
Question 2:
Which can be the co-financing sources for the Project? Do they necessarily need to be cash, or can we cofinance by means of equipment invoices, salaries of personnel...etc
Answer:
Please refer to answers for question 2 under Clarification 1 and for question 1 under Clarification 2.
In addition please refer to the detailed presentation of eligible costs in section 2 of Annex 1 to the Call for
Proposals.
