The local government (granting authority) checks the eligibility requirements and forwards a copy of the application to the StMUV.

The applications are discussed by an expert committee (advisory committee) appointed by the StMUV, whose meetings are also attended by representatives of the governments. The StMUV makes the decision on the selection of projects based on the recommendations of the advisory committee.

The funding decision is issued by the granting authority, which also handles the further funding procedure.
