Work Package Description
Work package structure
Header: title, work package leader, effort per participant, start date
Objectives: clear and not to be confused with tasks!
Description of work: the activities; subdivided into tasks (numbering: T1.1, T1.2..
T2.1, T2.2)
Deliverables: tangible evidence of project progress (reports, website,training
material,communication material,benchmarking) (numbering: D1.1, D1.2..
D2.1, D2.2)
PART B
Numbering convention
FP7 lingo
Projects, Programmes, etc.
Numbering of Tasks, Deliverables and Milestones follows a simple constant
numbering logic:
A letter determines if it is a
,
or
The first digit is the Work Package number: 1, 2, 3...
The second digit is a sequence number: 1, 2, 3
E.g.:

Project
Management/ Pert
Chart
The division
of the work must be logical.
It must demonstrate that the focus of the management is on the prompt and proper
accomplishment of the workpackages and deliverables.
It is good idea to have one workpackage for Coordination and Management
It is also usual to have a separate workpackage for the project management
Be careful
Do not include all the partners in all the workpackages. This is sign of poor planning
and organisation.
Do not involve a partner in all the workpackages. Every partner has specific
competencies and should be involved in specific tasks.
Every partner in the project should have specific responsibilities for justifying their
role in the proposal.

Section 4: Ethical issues
4. Ethical Issues (1/2)
Preliminaryconsiderations:
Ethical review will be performedsolely on the basis of the information avail able in the
proposal.
Projects raising specific ethical issues such as research interv ention on human beings;
research on human embryos and human embryonic stem cells and non-humanprimatesare
automaticallysubmitted forethical review.
To ensure compliance with ethical principles, the Commission Serviceswill undertake ethics
audit(s) of selected projectsat its discretion.
Issues to be clarified:
Informed consent: When describing issues relating to informed consent, it will be necessary to
illustrate an appropriate level of ethical sensitivity, and consider issuesof insurance,incidental
findings and the consequences of withdrawing from the study.
Data protection issues: Avoid the unnecessary collection and use of personal data. Identify the
source of the data, describing whether it is collected as part of the research or is previously
collected data being used. Consider issues of informed consent for any data being used.
Describe how personal identification in the data is protected.
Use of animals: Where animals are used in research the application of the 3Rs (Replace,
Reduce, Refine) must be convincinglyaddressed. Numbersof animals shouldbe specified.
Describe what happens to the animals after the research experime nts.
5. Gender issues
Content:
Describe actions that would be undertaken during the course of the
project to promote gender equality in your project, or in your field of
research.
Examples:
actions related to the project consortium: e.g. improving the gender
balance in the project consortium, measures to help reconcile work
and private life, awareness raising within the consortium)
actions aimed at a wider public: e.g. events organised in schools or
universities
Conclusions on Part 5:
Pages limit:
One page
Evaluation criteria:
None
This part will be discussed during negotiations if the project is
successful
4. Ethical Issues (2/2)
Human embryonic stem cells: Research proposals that will involve human
embryonic stem cells (hESC) will have to address all the following specific
points:
the necessity to use hESC in order to achieve the scientific objectives set forth
in the proposal.
whether the applicants have taken into account the legislation, regulations,
ethical rules and/or codes of conduct in place in the country(ies) wher e the
research using hESC is to take place, including the procedures for obtaining
informed consent;
the source of the hESC
the measures taken to protect personal data, including genetic data, and
privacy;
the nature of financial inducements, if any.
Identify the countries where research will be undertaken and which
ethical committees and regulatory organisations will need to be
approached during the life of the project.
Include the Ethical issues table. If you indicate YES to any issue, please
identify the pages in the proposal where this ethical issue is described.
