The International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) will inform the principal investigators which pre-proposals can be submitted as full proposal around mid–July. After the deadline for submission of full proposals, on Thursday, September 18, 2008, the procedure continues with the full proposals to be assessed by independent external referees. During the ISAB meeting in November all members will advise and prioritise the full proposals to the steering group. Based on this advice the steering group decides on which research proposals will be granted around mid-December.
