There was inadequate preparation in terms of literature reviews, and situating applications in relation to current and past work

Single institution applications without clear applicability to the sector and wider community

Dissemination poorly understood and addressed

Requirements for project management not considered

IP issues not addressed

Many budgets contained simple errors

In a number of cases the budgets appeared unrealistically high

Budgets need to be clearly related to activities and outcomes detailed in the application.
