What is meant by the internal process the application has gone through prior to submission?
This means any internal review or selection process which an HEI has in place for NIRG applications. It is not mandatory for this to take place, but if there is one we would expect to see evidence of it. When the scheme was first introduced a quota was set of three applications per HEI, which has since has been removed. However, the MRC wishes to know whether there is still a process of internal assessment prior to the submission of applications. The MRC also wishes to know what process was followed to gain commitment from the Head of Department (or other appropriate person) that the applicant will be considered for a permanent position at the end of the award period.
