PROPOSED CHANGES TO METHODOLOGY: SCORING Once the assessment criteria is better aligned with the definition of impact in the enhanced strategy doc for 2020 – 2025, the suggestion is to introduce a scoring system where applications will be scored against the defined criteria. This methodology has been gleaned from best practice in the grant funding landscape and anticipates more coherent and specific feedback to applicants. All of the criteria are equally weighted. 5 - Excellent 4 - Very Good 3 - Good 2 - Fair 1 - Poor 7
