Hewlett International Grant Program
Evaluation Criteria
Hewlett International Grant proposals are reviewed by faculty committee composed of former grant recipients representing a range of disciplines. The committee evaluates and awards points to each proposal based on the set of criteria listed below.
The cumulative point scores are used for an initial ranking of the proposals, but all proposals are discussed by the whole committee before final award decisions are made.
Primary Criteria
- Is this an original and important project?
- Does the proposal include sufficient information about the project, is the information clearly presented and understandable to non-specialists?
- Are the activities proposed appropriate to the overall project?
Secondary Criteria
- How successful has the applicant been in securing matching funds? (both internal and external to Pitt)
- Does the project involve collaboration with faculty at Pitt or with faculty at institutions abroad?
- Does the project have an impact at Pitt beyond the research record of the applicant?
- Will the project lead to or conclude a larger overall agenda?
Budget Criteria
- Is the proposed budget reasonable for the activities proposed?
