Post-Award Process

The Post-Award process is evolving to help awardees share learning and to help the Belmont Forum community show the cumulative impact of all our projects. The process includes a project kick-off meeting (optional), mid-term meeting, end-term meeting, and legacy steps. Legacy steps include helping previous awardees find additional resources to continue their work.

More information is available in the flowchart below. See also the CRA development process and proposal process flow charts.

Data Policy and Implementation

The Belmont Forum has adopted an Open Data Policy and Principles produced by the e-Infrastructures and Data Management CRA to establish recommendations on a more coordinated, holistic and sustainable approach to the funding, and support of global change research. To increase data sharing and foster longterm management and organization of project-generated data, basic Data Management Overview questions are incorporated into all Belmont Forum project applications to encourage all project data to be:

  • Discoverable through catalogues and search engines
  • Accessible as open data by default, and made available with minimum time delay
  • Understandable in a way that allows researchers—including those outside the discipline of origin—to use them
  • Manageable and protected from loss for future use in sustainable, trustworthy repositories

More information on why the Belmont Forum requires a data management section in their application process and latest updates on data management can be found on the Data and Digital Objects page of this site.
