Procedure for the management and follow-up of TNA applications, including the manuals how to use the online submission and selection tool

The transnational access (TNA) program of the PIGWEB project allows external teams to access the partners’ infrastructures. To ensure a transparent and efficient access, a procedural manual was written and an online submission and selection tool was designed: • The procedural manual establishes all the guidelines regarding the eligibility to apply, the preparation, submission and evaluation of proposals, the submission of progress reports, the valorization of trial results, the reimbursement of any travel and subsistence costs and general support. This manual will therefore serve as a reference point for TNA applicants, TNA providers and the TNA management team throughout the entire TNA process. • The online submission and selection tool allows interested parties to submit their applications easily and efficiently. In addition, the applicant will be able to follow up on his submission throughout the entire selection procedure.
