Decision making process
All applications were assessed in the following process:
Corra and Scottish Government policy teams assessed the applications against their fit with the fund criteria. If there were applications that did not clearly meet the basic eligibility criteria – a full assessment was not carried out.
Applications were then peer reviewed by other Corra staff.
The combined information from the full assessments was used to make a final recommendation to Scottish Government, who considered all the recommendations. Scottish Government Ministers made final decisions on which applications to fund.
What next?
The Fund was only open for one round of applications and there have been no plans shared by Scottish Government for future rounds of funding becoming available. You can sign up to our funding bulletin in the footer of the website to be kept up to date of new funds opening.
