6.3 — Weights and scores Call for proposals, Onderzoekstalent 2018
Weights and scores
In assessing the proposals, a 9 point scale will be used, on which 1 represents the highest/best score, and 9 the lowest/worst. All criteria will be scored (and in assessing the pre-proposals also the elements within the criteria). On the basis of the scores and overall weighted average score will be calculated. This overall average score constitutes the final score. The final score will determine the position in the ranking.
In calculating the final scores, the different weights allocated to the criteria (or elements within them) will be taken into account.
Weights applicable for pre-proposals
Criterion | Element within criterion | Weight
Education | Bachelor | 10%
First year master’s | 30%
Extracurricular | Academic/ Non-academic | 10%
Motivation | | 10%
Research idea | | 40%
For each criterion applicable for pre-proposals, relevant points for the assessment have been listed in paragraph 4.2.1.
Scoring criteria for pre-proposals
For the first criterion (Education) a starting score of 5.4 applies for both bachelor and master. This score means ‘good’. The reason for this starting score is that admitted pre-proposals meet the set criteria for admission. For studies with a specific research-oriented character, such as a research master’s, a better starting score of 4.4 applies. In assessing both elements within this criterion the relevant points listed in paragraph 4.2.1 play a role and can lead to deduction of points, i.e. to a better score.
Also for the second criterion (Extracurricular activities) as starting score applies: 5.4 when activities have been carried out, 5.5 when no activities have been carried out.
No starting score applies to the criteria ‘Motivation’ and ‘Research Idea’. The entire 9 point scale applies for scoring these criteria. Pre-proposals do not receive a qualification.
Weights applicable for full proposals
Criterion | Weight
Originality and contribution to science | 30%
Research setup and methods | 30%
Quality of candidate, supervision, environment | 30%
Knowledge exchange and impact | 10%
Scoring criteria for full proposals
The entire 9 point scale applies for scoring the criteria. The score assigned to the pre-proposal does not play any role during the assessment of the full proposals.
