%  How to fill out this application form?
%
%  IMPORTANT: When writing your proposal, please take into account that it will be assessed by both expert referees
%  as well as more broadly composed cluster committees and domain wide assessment committees.
%
% This application form consists of two parts. Part A is devoted to the scientific proposal, including abstract, summary and a justification
% for the project budget. Part B contains the name and affiliation of the main and co-applicant and additional information which is not
% immediately necessary for the scientific proposal but contains administrative information aiding the assessment procedure. Only Part
% A will be assessed by the referees and the cluster and domain wide assessment committees. Please adhere to the following rules
% when filling out this application form:
%  *  remove the examples and comments before converting the application to PDF and submitting it;
%  *  use the font and size as specified in the .sty-file and do not change the margins (2 cm in either direction);
%  *  each of the two Parts A and B should start on a new page (the LaTeX-.sty-file should handle this);
%  *  no budget table should be included in this application form; please use the separately provided spreadsheet to
%     construct your budget table and upload the pdf of it together with this application form;
%  *  the basic details of the proposal (section A.1, incl. abstract and summary) are limited to one page;
%  *  the scientific proposal (section A.2) is limited to eight pages, which includes figures and tables, but excludes the list of literature
%      references.
%  * all references, including DOI’s, must be listed in section A.2.7 literature/references;
%  * it is not allowed to include hyperlinks to a personal website, to a group website or to similar information which, in fact, extends the %     page limit set;
%  * it is not allowed to include ‘CV information’ such as prizes, (prestigious) grants, et cetera;
%  * NWO signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). DORA aims to call a halt to the irresponsible use of
%     bibliometric indicators in assessing research and researchers (such as
%     the H-index, Journal Impact Factor and citations). It is a global initiative for all research disciplines (for more information about this,
%     see https://sfdora.org/). NWO implements its principles in all instruments. Therefore it is not allowed to mention H-indices, Journal
%     Impact Factors, overall citations or similar bibliometric indicators in M-applications. It is allowed to mention the number of citations
%     of a single output item that is relevant to the proposed research;
%  * it is not allowed to include letters of support or documents other than required.

%  What to submit to NWO through ISAAC?
%  Upload as a separate pdf:
%  *  Application form
%  *  Budget table
%  *  If applicable: employer’s statement when the contract of the applicant or co-applicant (tenure track or upcoming retirement) does
%      not cover the runtime of the project: guarantee adequate supervision of the to be appointed personnel

\part{Scientific proposal}

\section{Basic details}
% Part A.1 covers some basic details of the application and contains information to aid the scientific assessment of your proposal as it
% contains both an abstract suited for your scientific peers and a summary for non-specialists in multidisciplinary scientific assessment
% committees. The individual parts have no length restriction but the total length of Part A.1 should not exceed one page.
\vspace{\baselineskip}

\subsection{Title}
%  The title should be clear and concise, and not an explanation. An acronym is optional.


\subsection{Abstract}
% The abstract should summarize the proposed research in a clear way and should be aimed at your scientific peers. Please bear in mind
% that NWO attaches the abstract to the invitation for referees. This abstract also needs to be uploaded through NWO's online
% application system ISAAC.


\subsection{Summary}
% The summary explains your research proposal to the assessment committees which do not necessarily contain experts from your
% field. The members from the assessment committees are scientists having a background in the research areas covered by the NWO
% Domain Science.


\subsection{Keywords}
% Use up to 5 keywords to describe your research proposal. NWO will use the keywords, together with the proposal, to identify
% suitable referees. Furthermore, keywords can aid the referees and committees to quickly understand the broad scope of your
% proposal.

\newpage
\section{Scientific proposal}
% This section is limited to eight pages, including figures and tables and excluding literature references.
% While drafting your research proposal keep the assessment criteria from the call for proposals in mind. The two main assessment
% criteria are "Scientific quality of the proposal" (70%) and “Scientific and/or societal impact" (30%). For the assessment of proposals
% the basic principle is that the proposals must describe in a clear and concise way what will be investigated and why the proposed
% research should be carried out. Committee members judge your M-2 proposal in competition with M-Invest and M-1 proposals.

\subsection{Research topic}
% This part of the proposal includes the overall aim, objectives and background. It also deals with the scientific originality and/or the
% innovative approach of the proposed research and investment, including its cutting-edge aspects and/or groundbreaking character.


\subsection{Approach}
% Describe which methods and techniques will be used in the proposed research and discuss their applicability and accessibility. Discuss
% the need, the complementarity and added value of the collaboration between the main applicant and co-applicant. Include a detailed
% work plan and indicate the duration of the proposed research.


\subsection{Justification}
% Discuss the choice for the type of personnel (e.g. PhD and/or post-doc) and possibly non-scientific staff. In case a small investment
% (up to € 150,000) is foreseen, indicate whether this investment will be developed exclusively for the proposed research, why there is
% no nearby equipment available that warrants this investment and how the investment relates to the number of researchers using it.
% Also discuss and motivate your choices for budget decisions. Provide a justification for the budget for knowledge utilization,
% internationalisation, Money follows Cooperation, and a motivation for an excess in materials budget (if the cumulative total exceeds
% more than k€ 15 per scientific position per year). When filling out the budget table be aware of the following: costs for Open Access
% publishing should be included under ‘Materials/Implementation costs’, travel and accommodations costs for the scientific positions
% applied for should be included under ‘Materials/Travel and accommodation costs’. Travel and accommodation costs in so far as these
% concern direct research costs emerging from the international collaboration of PI’s should be included under the module
% ‘Internationalisation’. When applying for ‘Money follows Cooperation’ the foreign researcher should be the co-applicant and funding is
% requested for a scientific position (PhD or Postdoc) abroad; please see the Call for Proposals for more information and requirements,
% or contact NWO.


\subsection{Embedding of research and relevant expertise of researchers involved}
% Describe how the proposed research fits with the participating researcher(s) and how it benefits from local, national and/or
% international collaborations. Also indicate how the proposed research fits within the (inter)national science landscape. The relevant
% expertise of the applicant should be described, but remember to comply with DORA. Do not include ‘CV information’ such as prizes,
% (prestigious) grants, et cetera. Do not include hyperlinks to personal websites or group websites. 


\subsection{Risk assessment}
% Discuss feasibility of the research proposal and indicate the possible risks involved with the proposed research, including risks from
% the methods, techniques, available infrastructure, etc. Indicate how these risks can be mitigated and whether an alternative
% approach (plan B) exists.


\subsection{Scientific and/or societal impact}
% Specify which kind of impact the proposal focusses on (tick one box) and motivate your choice. Please elaborate on all applicable
% parts of the criteria for the chosen form of impact (see call for proposals).
$\square$ Primary focus on scientific impact \\ % to check box use $\boxtimes$
$\square$ Scientific and societal impact are of comparable focus \\ % to check box use $\boxtimes$
$\square$ Primary focus on societal impact \\ % to check box use $\boxtimes$

Motivation:

% Explanatory Notes
% The applicant has the choice whether to focus on achieving scientific impact, societal impact, or a combination thereof. It is not
% necessary to include both types of impact to get a good score for this assessment criterion. A focus on scientific impact, a focus on
% societal impact, or a combination thereof, can lead to a good score, provided that it is well motivated. On the basis of the referee
% reports and the rebuttal, the committee will assess whether there are possibilities for impact that are not described in the proposal,
% and take this into account in its assessment.

% Scientific impact is the impact of research on one's own research field, on related research fields or on the broader scientific
% community. Societal impact can broadly be defined as any cultural, economic, industrial, environmental and/or societal change that is
% (in part) the result of the knowledge and skills acquired through the proposed research.



\subsection{Literature/references (in this proposal)}
% The list of references should be relevant to the research proposal, cited in the texts of section A.2 and only include 'open literature'.
% It should not include internal documents (such as master theses) nor should it be a mere list of publications of the main applicant. This
% section does not count toward the limitation of eight pages.

\part{Applicants and additional information}

\section{Research areas}
% Include at least one and at most five Domain Science research areas applicable to your research proposal. The list of admissible
% research areas can be found in section 6.1 of the call for proposals, round 2021-2022. Please indicate for each chosen research area
% (in percentages) the relevance to your research proposal. Use increments of 5%. The minimum percentage can be 20% and the sum
% of percentages should not exceed 100%. By using percentages, rather than a ranking of research areas, you can also indicate that
% some research areas contribute equally to your proposal. For example:
% - Stars (25%)
% - Inorganic chemistry (25%)
% - Geophysics (50%)
% Please note that these research areas do not correspond to the discipline codes asked for when submitting your proposal through
% NWO's online application system ISAAC. The research areas listed in this proposal (submitted as pdf) are used for further assessment
% of your application (e.g., the distribution of the proposal among the different cluster committees); the codes in ISAAC are not used
% for any such purpose. Please only supply the main discipline in ISAAC.


\section{Main applicant - additional information}

\section{Questions Data management section}
% Explanatory Notes
% Responsible data management is part of good research. To promote effective and efficient data management,  data sharing and 
% data reuse, NWO expects researchers to carefully manage data resulting from NWO-funded research and prospectively plan for 
% which data will be preserved and shared.

% With the data management section, NWO mainly wants to raise awareness about the importance of responsible data management. 
% The section is therefore not included in a committee's decision about whether or not a proposal should be awarded funding. NWO 
% does, however, submit this section to the committee and referees for advice. 

% It is recommended that you seek advice from a data steward or research support office at your home institution to complete this 
% section. They will be able to recommend suitable storage facilities and repositories for your data, and to advise on data management 
% costs.
% After a proposal has been awarded funding, grantees are required to elaborate the data management section into a detailed data 
% management plan explaining how research data and other results emerging from the NWO-funded research will be stored and made 
% findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). 

% What does NWO understand as research data?
% Research data are the evidence that underpin the answer to research questions, and can be used to validate findings. Data can be 
% quantitative information or qualitative statements collected by researchers in the course of their work by experimentation, observation, 
% modelling, interview or other methods, or information derived from existing evidence. 
% For the purpose of NWO's data management policy, the definition of research data does not include physical objects such as scientific 
% and archaeological collections, physical arts works or biobanks; however, digital information extracted from such objects are to be 
% regarded as research data.
% Software is also not included in the definition of research data. NWO recognizes that software (algorithms, scripts and code developed 
% by researchers in the course of their work) may be necessary to access and interpret data. In such cases, the data management plan 
% will be expected to address how information about such items will be made available.

% What data does NWO expects you share and preserve?
% Research results should be stored in such a way that they can be retrieved and reused in the long term, also by researchers in disciplines 
% and organisations other than those in which the research took place. The operating principle is that all stored data are, in principle, freely 
% accessible and that access is only limited if needed for reasons such as privacy, public security, ethical restrictions, property rights and 
% commercial interests. 
% NWO expects researchers to preserve the data resulting from their projects for at least ten years, unless legal provisions or discipline-specific 
% guidelines dictate otherwise. As much as possible, research data should be made publicly available for reuse, unless there are valid reasons 
% not to do so. As a minimum, NWO requires that the data underpinning research papers should be made available at the time of the article's 
% publication. Any tools or software (algorithms, scripts and code developed by researchers in the course of their work) necessary to access 
% and interpret data should be made available alongside the data.

% The costs of data management are eligible for funding and should be included in the project budget. 
% Important factors that determine the costs are: 
% * the type of data; 
% * the capacity needed for storage and backup; 
% * the amount of work needed to allocate metadata and the compilation of other documentation such as codebooks and the queries used in the statistical package; 
% * the extent to which the data needs to be protected; 
% * the hiring in of external data management expertise or other expertise.
