This section describes the general principles for project application. Project application stage starts from call for proposals. The Joint Monitoring Authority (JMA), assisted by the Joint Technical Secretariat (JTS), once a year prepares the application pack, launches the call for proposals and ensures its publicity. Beneficiaries (Lead Partners) submit their project proposals to the JTS, before the deadline set in the call for proposals.

These application procedures apply only for the First Call for proposals. There may be changes in these procedures during next Calls. 

Applications must be submitted using the Grant Application Form, together with the annexes and supporting documents.

Applicants must apply in English.

Important notes:

• Applicants should keep strictly to the format of the different forms and fill in the paragraphs and the pages in order.
• Please complete the documents carefully and as clearly as possible so that they can be assessed properly.
• Hand-written applications will not be accepted.
• The annexes D and E must always be submitted as originals.
• The supporting documents must be submitted as unofficial translations into English certified by the head of the Applicant organisation.
• The budget tables (Annex B) have to be drawn up in Euro and provide clear information about the way the money will be spent according to the activities described and divided per each partner and where it comes from.
• The Applicant should be precise and provide enough detail to ensure the application is clear, particularly as to how the aims of the Action will be achieved, the benefits that will flow from it and the way in which it is relevant to the programme's objectives.
• Applicants must verify that the application is complete on the basis of the Checklist (Annex A, Section VI) and that the signatures and official stamps are well visible and recognisable.
• Please make sure that the Declaration by the Applicant (Annex A, Section IV and Section VII) and Partnership Statements (Annex A, Section IV.2) are signed and stamped by the legally authorised representative of the relevant organisations.
• Each application should be bound (together with its annexes and supporting documents) in the way that pages could not be taken away from a whole set, and attached together with a list of contents. The very first two pages of the Grant Application Form should be visible, where <Name of the Applicant> and <Priority> and <Measure> should be written by the Applicant.
