The application phase starts with a idea for an application and concludes when the application has been submitted to the funder and you receive either a final notification of refusal or a notification of acceptance that initiates the award phase.
The Faculty of Educational Sciences’ procedures complement the University of Oslo’s guide for research projects.

Anchoring
The institution (unit or faculty) is the project owner and formal submitter of applications. All applications, large and small, both where we are coordinators and where we are partners, must be approved by management (at unit or faculty level) before they are submitted.
The project manager is responsible for ensuring that support for the project has been granted by the head of unit before an application is submitted.
During the application phase, this takes place in two rounds. First, the project owner must consent to a proposal being developed. Before the application is submitted, the project owner must approve the proposal budget.
