What you get from TÜBİTAK Consulting
-
Your technical work in academic language
We translate the language of industry into the academic literature and project structure TÜBİTAK expects (SMART objectives, original value and so on). By highlighting not only the commercial but also the technological and scientific side of your project, we prepare a file to the standard evaluators expect. -
Every grant item fully planned
When building the project budget, we plan staff, machinery and equipment, and service procurement items as efficiently as possible under the programme’s rules; we spot and manage the risk of deductions before the file goes to the institution. -
Evaluator simulation and preparation
Before applying, we review your project through the eyes of a potential evaluator and identify gaps in advance. We prepare the presentations and technical defences for evaluator visits and audits with you, and resolve likely questions before the visit. -
End-to-end PRODİS management
We manage all data entry, registration and revisions on PRODİS (Project Evaluation and Monitoring System), TÜBİTAK’s complex application system. While you focus on engineering, we handle the paperwork meticulously. -
Regular financial and technical reporting
Project approval is only the start. We prepare the Technical (AGY100-300) and Financial (AGY500) reports you must submit each period to receive payments, and follow up until each progress payment arrives. -
A sustainable R&D system
We work on your company’s long-term R&D strategy, not just a single project. We help you build a project culture that lasts, and prepare you for future TÜBİTAK TEYDEB (Technology and Innovation Support Programmes Directorate) and R&D Center processes.

What is TÜBİTAK Consulting?
TÜBİTAK consulting means positioning your R&D and innovation projects in the right support programme and running them from application to completion.
At FIX, we design your project idea to academic and technical criteria, structure the budget correctly and manage the TÜBİTAK project consulting process end to end. A well-designed TÜBİTAK consulting process means your project goes into the evaluators’ assessment with a strong file; the funding decision rests with TÜBİTAK.
Why are TÜBİTAK projects rejected?
A significant share of TÜBİTAK projects come back not because of weak content, but because of presentation and design errors. Common reasons for rejection:
- Unclear innovationThe project’s difference from existing solutions is not shown clearly enough.
- Weak methodology and work packagesThe technical approach and work plan don’t meet the evaluators’ criteria.
- Unrealistic budgetCost items don’t match the project’s scope.
- Incomplete or incorrect applicationMissing documents and forms count against you in the evaluation.

Which TÜBİTAK programme should I apply for?It depends on the nature of your project.
It depends on the nature of your project. For the first 5 R&D projects with a budget of up to TRY 3.5 million, the leading option is 1507; for larger industrial R&D projects, it is 1501 (both open only to SMEs). For order-based projects it is 1707, and for green transformation 1832 and 1833. Together, we find the right match. -
