The 2019 data grant call was an extremely successful round and we would like to inform all applicants that the documentation is being reviewed and evaluated according to criteria referenced in the call. The results will be communicated on December 9th.

The 2019 data grant call was an extremely successful round and we have received an excess of 30 applications. The criteria used for this evaluation, included in the call, focuses on 7 main aspects:

Availability of biota quantification (biomass, abundance and/or density).
Contribution of the datasets to temporal, geographical and taxonomic gaps and size of datasets.
Temporal length of the datasets. Data from long-term monitoring series, with homogeneous sampling methodologies and identification procedures are encouraged.
Availability of additional biotic (e.g. sex, development stage) or abiotic information.
Complementarity with existing or under development data products.
Significance of the dataset for European policy needs (e.g. MSFD indicators, invasive species).
Overall relevance to EMODnet Biology and cost-benefit.

The Coordination Board has started the evaluation process to assess which grants will be funded. All applicants will be informed of the outcome by December 9th.
