Scientific Evaluation Results of TÜBİTAK-ARDEB 2023 2nd Term 1001 Projects Have Been Announced!

Considering the benefit rate of projects in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities from the TÜBİTAK-ARDEB grant budget, the projects evaluated by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Grant Committee (SOBAG) are excluded from the scope of the budget restriction.

Within the scope of our output and impact-oriented process management, the following criteria, in addition to the panel score, have been taken into account during the determination of the projects to be supported.

Output performance of the project coordinator obtained from previously supported projects,
Compliance with prioritized area subjects stated in TÜBİTAK call planning,
Projects directly associated with prioritized R&D and innovation issues in the scope of Compliance with the Green Deal,
Being a project coordinator on behalf of the relevant institution/organization in the projects submitted to the programs supported directly by the European Commission grants within the scope of the Horizon Europe Program,
Multidisciplinary / Interdisciplinary Projects,
University-University Cooperation established within the scope of the project proposal,
University-Industry Cooperation established within the scope of the project proposal

In the 2nd term of 2023, 1388 of 1474 project proposals submitted within the scope of the 1001 program were taken into scientific evaluation. As the result of the evaluation; it is decided to support 225 project proposals, while to conditionally accept 29 project proposals provided that shortcomings specified in the scientific evaluation reports are revised. For 120 project proposals, the opportunity of being revised and resubmitted has been given without waiting for the next term until January 22, 2024. In the evaluation of the projects that will be resubmitted without waiting for the next period, the criteria for the 2nd term of 2023 will be used, and these projects will be supported within the budget of revised project process.

The support rate for the projects evaluated in the 2nd period of 2023 is 18,3%.

During the evaluation of the 2nd term projects of 2023, 518 online panels and 311 external advisor panels were conducted with the participation of 2590 panelists, 1157 external advisors, and 655 observers from 245 different organizations. During the determination of the assigned panelists; The “Panelist Selection Algorithm”, which take into account both the areas of expertise mentioned in the digital identity information and ARBIS profiles of the researchers in addition to the areas of expertise included in the project proposal, was used. It was paid strict and maximum attention to have been a project coordinator at least once before for the researchers assigned as panelist.

We would like to thank the panelists who took part in the scientific evaluation processes of the projects and the observers for their invaluable contributions.
