Some Drawbacks
? Multiple submissions -- Some teams (4)
propose several infrastructure activities
(JRA / TNA / NA) with very similar titles and
content ? Undefined teams -- Many proposals
(24) have no defined team of an infrastructure
participants ? Undefined (or wrong defined) type
of infrastructure activity - Some
proposals (13) are not identified as a particular
infrastructure activity (JRA, TNA or
NA) - Several proposals have incorrectly
defined their type ? Research-focused proposals
-- Many proposals (10) are focused on doing
just a scientific research but not on building an
infrastructure I3
can not support research projects!
It supports development of cooperating
infrastructures The term research
infrastructures refers to facilities, resources
and related services that are used by the
scientific community to conduct
top-level research in their respective
fields.
