Start early, a good proposal needs time and evolution. Input from real partners. Be on time for the deadline
"Excellence": your chance for your selling points. Make choices, focus, have a clear direction, remove unnecessary elements, innovate. Win by explaining.
"Impact": Be ambitious. Quantify. Plan activities to monitor your performance. Keep links to your actual work plan.
"Resources": Invest time into your work plan - this is the opportunity to convince evaluators that you can materialise your vision. Invest time into your resource planning –bottom up.
