I don't really understand how these percentages were calculated.
I was expecting values in each column to sum up to 100 :?

Can someone please post the cut off scores of 2019 and 2020
You can find them under Conditions and documents on each call page.

Here, data for 2019 call: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tende ... les_en.pdf
It is accumulative. Because it is the score above or equal to. For instance:
100 - 0.23% only the 0.23% obtained more than or equal to 100 points.
99 - 0.24% only the 0.24% obtained more thant or equal to 99 points (incluiding the 100 or above). Thus, if you substarte 0.24 - 0.23%, you would obtain the percentage of that range (99 - 99.9999999999%): 0.01%.

Hope it makes sense :)

Because it's cumulative. So rather than saying X% of proposals got 70%, Y% got 71% and so on, it's X% scored 70% or higher. So for example in that link, for the CAR panel, 0.23% of the submissions to that panel scored 100%, and 0.45% of all proposals scored 99% or 100%.

I really hope everyone will get notified at the same time, regardless of the outcome.

For those who applied with no support whatsoever, it's a painful and awful experience but it teaches you a lot. My 2019 potential supervisor didn't even read one line of the proposal, he simply said he'd be happy to supervise me should I get the grant and we would discuss the project once I got it. No form of support at all, not even on the section about their role. It was one of the most frustrating experiences for me, but this round I made sure to look for an institution that offered some support, and talked to the potential supervisor before starting to write the proposal, because I did not want to go through this entirely on my own again.

That being said this week was so hard! I haven't been able to focus much, jumping at every single email I received! I just hope the results will be sent on Monday without further delay!

I have now been following this forum for three years (through my three attempts) and just wanted to say thank you to all for all the funny memes and encouragement in the dark rejection times. Finally, I seem to have got it. It was just leaked to me (through host from NCP) that I received a widening grant. So, it's starting.

Good luck to all!!!
Congratulations

This is what I have from last year (unsuccessful) application:

"phase":"INFORMATION","proposal":true,"finished":false
This is making me feel a bit demotivated :cry:
I wouldn't let it get you down, I don't think it means much at this stage.

Congrats!
But would you mind sharing some info at least about the panel you applied for, or the portal status "Magic link"!
That would be a great help for all of us here waiting...

Congratulations!! :) The third time was the charm!

See, the NCPs do know the results and probably have all week, it just depends on whether they want to leak the results or not :twisted:
