Online MULTIPLY Eligibility Check MULTIPLY Eligibility Criteria MULTIPLY Guide for Applicants

Once you have confirmed that you are eligible, you can proceed to directly contact the host of your choice using our Expression of Interest Portal. This is an online contact form that acts as the first point of contact between you, the fellow, and the MULTIPLY Partner Organization. The portal will allow you to detail your research background and research idea or topic of interest to the host. We strongly recommend using this portal, as the MULTIPLY Management team will keep track of all enquiries raised via this channel, and will be able to offer assistance if deemed necessary. This step will help the host organization provide feedback whether the infrastructural resources available with them will be appropriate to support your research activity.

The extent of alignment (necessary vs. existing resources/equipment/capacity, including capacity to address ethical issues) will be confirmed by the host as

• Inadequate,
• Partial with shortcomings which cannot be addressed,
• Partial with shortcomings that can be addressed, OR
• Sufficient.

The Host Organisation will provide a complete justification, should they indicate the extent of alignment other than sufficient.

Please note, all applicants approaching a Host Organization will be encouraged to submit a proposal. In other words, there will be no pre-selection in any form. The decision to apply with a given Host Organization solely rests with the applicant.

Expression of Interest Portal

Starting from Call 2, Scientists-in-charge at the host organisations will NOT co-author proposals with the Applicants. After initial point of contact, all Applicants will be provided with a standard document detailing the infrastructure from the Host Organisation, to be used by the Applicants to develop their proposals.

After initial discussions of the Scientist in Charge at the Host Organization and receiving their feedback on available infrastructure, you can start preparing your MULTIPLY proposal. The proposal template is available on our website in the MULTIPLY Application Pack Section.

Refer to the Skills Codes in the MULTIPLY Research and Training Framework when preparing your proposal. If your proposed fellowship period is more than a year, then you would be required to include obligatory placement periods. Consult with your host when preparing this section of the proposal. Also, you will be required to submit an ethics self-assessment along with your proposal, so it is advisable to start thinking about possible ethics related issues that may arise in your project as early as possible.

P lease note, research topics involving work with Human Embryo and Stem Cells (hESC) are not permitted within MULTIPLY.
