The Senate delegated the review process of the project proposals to the research committee. The committee assesses the eligibility of the proposals in accordance with the "Procedural rules for proposals for research funding". It then gives the Senate a reasoned recommendation regarding the project proposals. If it assesses several proposals as worthy of funding, the research committee recommends a list of priorities to the Senate.
