Assessment Criteria
Excellence will be the primary criterion. The adjudicating committee will consider the track records relative to
opportunity of the applicant and of the host researcher at the INS, the proposed research, and the benefits to the INS
arising from the collaboration, with each criterion equally ranked.
Preference will be given to visiting researchers who do not already have a well-established research collaboration with
the INS. If visiting researchers have an existing research collaboration with the INS, then the application must detail
how the proposed research is new and different from the existing collaboration.
