For me it boils down to reading as many proposals as I can and writing more of them myself. I found this one pretty tough tbh

Same thing here. A few host groups have a team to read and comment your proposal - with people that actually know the fellowship. This helps a lot!

So that's a 10% increase in budget and a 17% increase in applications. Here are the increases per panel: All panels: 17% ST 16% RI 11% CAR 42% SE 15% GF 13% Wow, this is quite interesting. And do we know how the budget is allocated per each panel from the previous years? I am terrible in statistics...

And s/he also began their first posts on this forum by asking if anyone knew that *if* you got the grant whether you could then change the host and supervisor. But s/he is also the most accomplished scientist ever, and s/he knows that they haven't got the grant, but they also know that they do have...

I first want to say that I agree that the way to get an MSCA is to work to the form expected - the technicalities and what they are looking for (knowledge exchange, training, appropriate supervisor, good Gantt Chart etc.) are all very important.

This time I changed the host and worked on a new topic that I had only few papers in this area. But the host is the chief editor of jo...

Wondering if some of you really got the point of what is the fellowship about? MSCF is not only about excellence, it is about impact on the applicants career. What can be the impact for someone who is already assistant professor, or someone who published 32 articles in two years!!? What will be the...

Statistics said one grant per eight application so this year can be around 1500 grant (13%)

How much it was last year? Do you know?

To CAR, or not to CAR? I am inactive in research since March/19 (which means 17 months of inactivity). Thus, I am pretty sure that I can apply for the CAR panel. I saw that the cut-off score of my "regular" panel (SOC) was higher than CAR last year (93 x 89.4), but is this a pattern? The idea of thr...
