(24) In order to efficiently implement BONUS-169, during the implementation phase, financial support should be granted to participants in BONUS-169 projects selected at the central level under the responsibility of the BONUS EEIG following calls for proposals. While a real common pot would be preferable in the longer term to guarantee funding for the researchers and to ensure EU added value, existing obstacles in certain Participating States to funding external research should not delay the efficient implementation of BONUS. It is therefore appropriate, in specific cases, to allow a Participating State to temporarily devote its contribution exclusively to domestic research that is selected at central level, without jeopardising the overarching criterion of scientific excellence.
