Marine Fund Scotland 2023 to 2024: guidance

General guidance notes for applications to the Marine Fund Scotland 2023 to 2024.


Annex D – outcomes assessment (stage two) scoring framework

In the outcomes assessment, each project will be assessed on how well it meets the outcomes listed in the 'Outcomes for the Marine Fund Scotland 2023-24' section of these Guidance notes. A score between -2 and +2 will be awarded in relation to each criterion in line with the scoring framework below. The overall score for each application will then be used to determine which applications will be offered grant funding.

Scoring framework

  • Project clearly aligns with outcome or clearly demonstrates how the project will mitigate significant negative effects, this scores two.
  • Project somewhat aligns with outcome or clearly demonstrates how the project will mitigate moderate negative effects, scores one.
  • Project neither aligns nor misaligns with outcome (neutral) or the outcome is not relevant to the project, scores zero.
  • Project somewhat misaligns with outcome or does not clearly demonstrate how the project will mitigate moderate negative effects, scores minus one.
  • Project clearly misaligns with outcome or does not clearly demonstrate how the project will mitigate significant negative effects, scores minus two.
