Application process for Thought for Food Initiative A. Eligibility To be eligible, a proposal must meet the following criteria: a) Involve at least one research partner as part of the consortium submitting the proposal. The proposal should clearly identify the Project Coordinator (which does not need to be a researcher or from a research institution) and the Scientific Leader, if different from the former. A single proponent may submit a proposal provided that it is from a research organization. b) Focus on either of the two (or both) thematic strands of the Call; c) Involve various disciplines combining natural and social sciences; d) Address several dimensions of sustainability (environment, economic, social, cultural, nutritional/health); e) Tackle various aspects of the food systems defined as referring to all processes, actors, institutions and interactions involved in feeding a population; and which include the required inputs and generated outputs, activities and services with both their positive and negative impacts along the different stages of the value chain (i.e., production, processing, distribution, preparation, consumption and disposal of food); f) Make publicly available project results and outputs to ensure that food systems stakeholders have access to it. Eligibility is not subjected to any geographical limitation. A particular but not exclusive interest shall be accorded, to the extent possible, to projects which are led or co-led by researchers from Agropolis Fondation’s scientific network7 and/or Fondazione Cariplo’s reference area8 . Research projects must involve partners from concerned countries, especially if they involve developing country case studies. For-profit-organizations may be involved as associated partners but are neither eligible to receive funding nor to share intellectual property rights related to any output of the projects funded under this Call. They are, however, encouraged to provide funding towards the implementation of the project. B. 2-stage process a) Application for funding under this Call will undergo a “two-stage process.” b) Applicants will first have to submit a Concept Note (CN) for review through a process designed by the co-funding organizations. Proponents of selected CN shall be asked to submit a Full Proposal (FP) which will then be subjected to another round of evaluation. It should be noted that a CN might be asked to be combined with another CN in order to form one single proposal. d) Fondazione Cariplo's reference area includes the Lombardy region and provinces of Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola(VCO) in the Piedmont region.
