The e-Grants platform will simplify and standardise the application, management, monitoring, and settlement processes across all institutions, thus increasing transparency and access to project funding.
The new system will consolidate all of these key processes in one place, facilitating the work of grant applicants and enabling the Polish state to better manage public funds. It will provide easy access to information through quick searches and the filtering of calls for proposals, as well as a shared calendar of calls: national, international, and those funded by the European Union (EU). The several application systems that currently operate independently will be replaced by e-Grants.
The project, which is co-funded by the EU under the European Funds for Digital Development programme 2021–2027 and the Polish state budget, constitutes another step towards the digital transformation of Polish public administration. The e-Grants system will offer the following electronic services:
- e-application: the application process from submission of a project proposal to an award or rejection decision
- e-review: the proposal reviewing process from submission of a review to its acceptance or rejection
- e-contract: the contracting process and management of grant agreements
- e-settlement: the process of requesting payments of a grant to a beneficiary
- e-reporting: the management of interim/final/sustainability reports on project implementation
- e-infringement: the assessment of submitted proposals and reports in terms of intellectual property rights protection and protection against double funding by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the entities it supervises—a module integrated with the Uniform Anti-plagiarism System (JSA)
- e-monitoring: overseeing the evaluation of documents and project implementation by the institutions described above.
The platform will primarily benefit scientists, research institutions, and businesses that apply for grants, as well as the public institutions that support them, such as the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Polish National Science Centre (NCN), the Polish National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), and the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).
E-Grants will be developed entirely by specialists from the National Information Processing Institute (OPI PIB) with the support of project partners.
