Quality assessment criteria (not listed in any priority order):

• Potential size of the impact - could be financial and/or social
• Timescale to impact - will this project and proposed follow up reduce the lead time to impact
• Likelihood of impact – does the project involve appropriate activities and partners
• Clarity of plan to achieve the project aims
• Good value? Impact per £
• Risk involved in the project - high risk not necessarily a negative; management of risk

Accelerator applications – additional considerations:

• Demonstrates synergy across STFC - EPSRC remits
• Highly likely to deliver outputs needed to progress beyond TRL4 and gain follow on support
