As part of the 2025-B-01 call launched by the Health Institutes of Türkiye (TÜSEB) to support strategic R&D projects in the field of health sciences and technologies—aiming to provide innovative solutions, develop need-oriented technological approaches, and pursue product-focused objectives—the comprehensive application evaluation processes have been completed.

All submitted projects were assessed by independent experts in the relevant fields during the evaluation phase, in terms of Scientific Content and Potential to Generate Health Value.

These evaluations were conducted under the following main criteria:

1. Compliance with the Application Areas Specified by TÜSEB
2. Feasibility of the Project Proposal in Achieving Its Intended Outputs within the Proposed Methodology, Total Budget, and Duration
3. Potential of the Project Output to Be Transformed into a Product
4. Potential for Integration into the Healthcare System
5. Scientific Publication Potential of the Project Output
6. Project Objective
7. Alignment with TÜSEB’s Identified Strategic Priorities
8. Project Methodology
9. Relevance of the Project Outputs to the Stated Objectives
10. Capacity of the Work Package(s) to Deliver the Targeted Outputs
11. Feasibility of the Project in Achieving Its Output Targets within the Proposed Budget and Timeline
12. Adequacy of the Project Output for Scientific Publication
13. Potential of the Project Output to Lead to Product Development or Innovation
14. Potential for Integration into the Healthcare System and for Broad Impact
15. Degree of Innovation and Technological Value

Following the completion of evaluations based on these main criteria, the projects eligible for support under the 2025 B Projects call have been identified.

Within the scope of the Group B R&D Project Call, a total of 1,198 applications were submitted, and 736 project proposals were deemed eligible for scientific evaluation. As part of the scientific evaluation process, independent experts with proven experience in relevant fields were assigned. The selection of these experts was based on the principles of avoiding any conflict of interest with the project teams and ensuring alignment between the experts’ areas of expertise and the content of the respective project proposals.

As a result of the scientific evaluation conducted across eight main areas and twenty-two subfields in the domain of health sciences and technologies, a total of 155 project proposals has been selected for support. The overall funding rate has been determined as 21.05%.

Within the scope of the “Health-Producing Projects,” Group C and Group D Calls will remain open until the end of 2025. We kindly encourage our researchers to consider these calls for the submission of additional project proposals in line with the criteria specified in the respective call texts.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all researchers who submitted project proposals for their contributions to science and to value-generating health. We also congratulate the research teams whose projects have been selected for funding.
