The research funding agency hopes that preselection by universities will help raise the quality of the applications. But NWO hasn\u2019t included this aspect in its evaluation, says The Young Academy \u2013 even though it does have the relevant data. When NWO awards a grant to a proposal, it also awards a score to the quality of the application.<\/p>\n<p>The society is worried about researchers with a temporary position. Due to the embedding guarantee, this group is less likely to submit a proposal: in 2018, there were only 97 such applicants \u2013 compared to 200 in 2017. \u201cIt seems that specifically researchers in precarious positions lose out under the new system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This would be less of a problem if the average quality of their applications were lower than that of researchers with a permanent position. In that case, the measure would \u201cobviously\u201d be easier to justify. The Young Academy believes that excluding researchers on any other grounds than quality is undesirable.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakdown<\/h2><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more about the embedding guarantee<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2018\/11\/19\/number-of-vidi-grant-applications-decreased-by-25-since-nwo-instituted-new-rules\/\">Number of Vidi grant applications decreased by 25% since NWO instituted new rules<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/02\/20\/researchers-unhappy-with-stricter-vidi-requirements\/\">Researchers unhappy with stricter Vidi requirements<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/02\/20\/the-young-academy-new-nwo-measure-should-be-thrown-out\/\">The Young Academy: \u2018New NWO measure should be thrown out\u2019<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>The society would also like to see a breakdown of the applications according to institution and field. NWO says that \u201cnot a single discipline, institution or institute was barred from participating in the Vidi scheme.\u201d But The Young Academy is far from convinced. The society wants NWO to evaluate the measure in greater depth and only then decide whether or not to continue on this foot.<\/p>\n<p>According to NWO, The Young Academy makes some legitimate points. \u201cWe\u2019ll be jointly examining the data once the grant awards and scores become known,\u201d says an NWO spokesperson. For the time being, he sees no reason to cancel the embedding guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Minister Van Engelshoven said that while she is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utoday.nl\/news\/66962\/minister-overweegt-maximum-aantal-flexcontracten\">pleased<\/a> that the volume of applications has subsided, she does take the criticism of the measure seriously. Together with NWO, she plans to investigate whether researchers who don\u2019t have a permanent position are less likely to land a grant.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8
