pre-proposal and assessment stages

What will be done differently:
Strategically building a more coherent and integrated portfolio of second generation CRPs that will collectively deliver System Level Outcomes by partners.
Characterising the portfolio
• GREAT opportunity – inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary at a global level (trans-disciplinary meaning in this context meaning crossing the boundaries between research and development)
