Abstract

Distributing resources supporting research activities in academic organizations is quite often based on ranking a number of submitted proposals. Among the many relevant questions here, we focus on what and how an organization can learn from grant applications that have been turned down. Obviously, these proposals need quality enhancement if they are to be resubmitted on another occasion. Investing efforts in assisting all of them might always be the most optimal solution. In this work, we consider an approach for selecting proposals that are not among the granted ones but are quite likely to be successful after additional work.
