Editorial commentary
The coordinator submits the proposal, signs the Grant Agreement on the consortium's behalf, receives pre-financing from the Commission and distributes it according to the consortium agreement, prepares and submits periodic and final reports, and manages amendments. Coordinator effort is typically budgeted as a dedicated work package. Coordinators are often experienced research-management offices at large universities or research-performing organisations; smaller partners typically prefer not to coordinate due to the administrative burden.
