Background Information:
Pre-Requirements (if not done yet):
Definitions of TIER 1, 2 and 3:
- Tier 1: The datasets hosted by the federated node are registered in the central catalogue. Users can explore the metadata of the datasets registered in EUCAIM’s platform.
- Tier 2: The data of the federated node is searchable through its local searching service, which is queried by the federated search system. The users can explore the actual number of studies fulfilling the search criteria defined by the user.
- Tier 3: The federated node has a materialisation component that makes the data available to the federated processing, according to EUCAIM’s model. The user will be able to run processing actions on the actual data, if the access to them is granted.
Onboarding process overview:

Evaluation process:
Your application is evaluated across 4 main criteria, scored accordingly, and ranked with other applications in an order of prioritisation to proceed to implementation.
1. Scientific quality of the application (15 points)
2. Alignment with EUCAIM priorities (8 points)
New cancer types (2 point)
New image modalities (1 point)
Number of cases or AI algorithms (5 points)
3. Compliance with the Technical requirements (not scoring)
4. Ethics/legal compliance (not scoring)
Scoring system:
All applications will be assessed, using the following scoring system from 0 to 5, to evaluate the proposal’s performance with respect to the different evaluation criteria.
0: Failure. The application fails to address the criterion in question or cannot be evaluated due to missing or incomplete information.
1: Poor. The application shows serious weaknesses in relation to the criterion in question.
2: Fair. The application generally addresses the criterion, but there are significant weaknesses that need corrections.
3: Good. The application addresses the criterion in question well, but certain improvements are necessary.
4: Very good. The application addresses the criterion very well, but small improvements are possible.
5: Excellent. The application successfully addresses all aspects of the criterion in question.
Full compliance with technical requirements is not mandatory (as EUCAIM can provide technical support where needed), but it will be considered as an added value of the application.
Ethics/legal compliance: it is an eligibility requirement, not scored.
