German term or phrase: inhaltilich [here]
"inhaltliche Bewertung der Antrages"
Context: pharmaceutical application

I was thinking of "content-related", but it sounds awkward:
...content-related evaluation of the application...
"Evaluation of the application on its merits", however, may not be quite spot on. What do you suggest?

inhaltlich
leave it out


Explanation:
It just means assessment of the application - "the content of" adds nothing to the sentence.

substantial


Explanation:
Within the context of pharmaceutical applications I understand that there are two distinct stages:
1) a formal examination (e.g. payment of fees done?, completeness of information?, etc.); and
2) a substantial examination (e.g. does a certain pharmaceutical product for which approval is sought for comply with regulations on bioavailability?).

Instead of examination also assessment, evaluation etc. could be used, as we do not know the body to perform the "Bewertung".

sorry, it has to read SUBSTANTIVE and not substantial
