The deadline for electronic submission of project proposals to be evaluated by TÜBİTAK – ARDEB during the next cycle is set as September 8th.
If your proposal contains research involving human subjects, then a formal approval letter by the ethics committee is needed. Since there are holidays in the last week of August and first week of September, the schedule of the ethics committee for evaluations of all the applications is very tight.
The committee would like to complete all reviews and issue approval letters by August 28th. Considering the anticipated work load, we would like to inform potential applicants that in order to make sure that your project is reviewed on time, application to the ethics committee must be made by August 11th, by sending an e-mail to <ethics@bilkent.edu.tr> with necessary attachments specified on the web page:
