SUMMARY:CoARA's Second Call for Cascade Funding
DESCRIPTION:Summary of the Call\n\nThis call for Cascade Funding aims to enhance institutional change and target pilot and exchange-of-knowledge initiatives. It will fund +20 projects facilitating knowledge-exchange\, piloting new initiatives within institutions\, and enabling lasting institutional change. As such\, it encourages and supports research organisations to investigate and test what will efficiently work ‘in real life’. \nMore specifically\, the first call aims to: \n\nFacilitate the exchange\, transfer and adaptation of proven good practices and their adoption in research organisations.\nCatalyse the set-up or transformation of research assessment practices and tools in line with the commitments of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.\nSupport the development and testing of new and innovative research assessment approaches\, models and procedures.\n\nProjects can be proposed by any of the organisation types specified below through a cascading grant mechanism. By the end of the programme\, it is expected to have a diverse portfolio of projects available that will translate the shared vision outlined in the Agreement into tangible\, lasting institutional changes in research assessment practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Figures\n\n\n\n\nTotal funding\n€2.33m total funding – €1.22m to be released in the second round.\n\n\nFunding per project\n€ 30\,000 to € 60\,000: a lump sum\, depending on the type of project\n\n\nNumber of projects\nto be funded\n50 overall: 25 projects selected in the first round. Up to 25 projects to be selected for the second round\n\n\nTarget applicants\nLegal entities interested in reforming research assessment practices in their institutions\n\n\n1st call\n26 April – 26 June 2024\n\n\n2nd call\n21 February – 21 April 2025 (closes at 17h CET)\n\n\nDuration of the projects\nImplementation within 12 months after signature of a Third-Party Project Agreement – TPPA\n\n\nStart of the projects\n1 September 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContext of the Call\n\nOver 800 research organisations\, funders\, assessment authorities\, professional societies\, and their associations have agreed on a common direction and principles for reforming the assessment of research\, researchers and research organisations\, outlined in the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment. They have also committed to implement changes within their organisations. \nCoARA\, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment\, offers a platform for collaboration and mutual learning. However\, given the complexity of the reform process\, providing support for institutions to test\, design\, and carry out in-depth institutional changes is crucial to implement the Agreement commitments. \nThe CoARA Boost project\,funded by the European Union\, strengthens CoARA’s operational capacity. It provides a means to develop a critical mass for reforming research assessment\, to generate gravitas for new members as well as to investigate and implement new models for research assessment. \nThe Cascade Funding Programme within CoARA Boost represents more than half of the project’s overall budget. This programme will support a minimum of 50 organisations in tackling specific challenges related to reforming research assessment and implementing the Agreement commitments. By supporting different types of proposals\, the programme will maintain a balanced portfolio of projects. The cascade funding programme consists of two rounds of open calls\, the first one launched in April 2024 and second one in mid-February 2025. \n\nCascade Funding Second Call Text
