第５章　プロジェクトの達成目標とパラメータ
　　　　Project Goals and Parameters

Contents
The parameters of ATP projects are defined during the proposal process, in which the project goals, duration and budget are specified
The proposal selection process includes pre-screening, peer-review by scientific, technical and business experts, oral review and final ranking
The ATP requires certain oversight and audit activities of recipients in order to monitor the progress of the projects
The ATP pays funds in installments matched by the industry cost share, enabling swift withdrawal if necessary
While it is “quite common” for recipients to make minor amendments to their plan (with ATP approval), it is rare that a recipient undergoes a major change of course
Early estimates suggest strong results for the ATP, based on the progress of the first 50 ATP projects four to six years after the commencement of ATP funding
