New "Fast-track" review process - For lower budget proposals
The external NAP Committee have approved a new "Fast-track" route for lower budget NAP proposals, delivering faster review turnabout times. This new proposed process will be rolled out over the next few weeks & should reduce review times from ~4 weeks to ~1 week. If you have an project ideas & think it might fit these criteria please contact me.
[update]
The first "Fast Track" proposal went through the process last week. The proposal, valued at under €15k, was reviewed within 4 working days and the author was delighted to be informed that he was successful. A number of other proposals are entering this new process shortly.
