[Characteristic] Comprehensive
The program guidelines must articulate all criteria that will be applied in determining whether a particular application will be awarded funding. This should not be confused with a blanket requirement for heavily detailed criteria to be included in all program guidelinessuch an approach would not be consistent with the requirement under the CGGs that all aspects of grants administration be fit-for-purpose. Instead, this characteristic is reflective of the fact that only those criteria set out in the program guidelines should be applied in the selection of funding recipients.
