[Decocd] DecOCD: partner info - decocd@lists.crg.es

27 May 2014

Dear all,

We would now like to begin the stage 2 proposal preparation for the DecOCD project. To
start with, I would like to ask you to:

1. respond to the questions below with YES or NO by email (necessary for us to have this
answer documented). The background info about eligibility is pasted below the questions.

2. by 6 June: Fill out the Participant info doc for yourself, either directly in the
Dropbox (in the "partner info" folder) or in the attached file (and return it to
me by email).

Thanks a lot. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

best wishes,
Veronica

ps of the 360 proposals for our call, 170 went through (attached)…approximately 5% will be
funded. So, our proposal will have to be "beyond excellent" (to use the EC
wording!).

YES/NO questions:

1. are you fully eligible in accordance with the criteria set out in the specific call for
proposals?

2. do you have the financial and operational capacity to carry out the proposed action?
