Hi All,

I am planning to submit a proposal this year for the first time. So, I am reading forums and trying to gather information about how to write it. Could you please recommend any site which specifically provides the submitted proposals (if any exists)? Successfully funded or not doesn't matter, they will be an excellent guide in my application. Thanks in advance.

Why not? I mean I wouldn't expect to find a site with all of the proposals but at least some people might have uploaded theirs willingly? No? Am I wasting my time?

I have seen one or two on researchgate but they are not particularly helpful if not in your discipline. Best to speak to the research support office in your institution. They will have resources.

if you search on google, surely you can find a lot of resources and yes, you will also find winning projects. Other documentation may be provided by the research offices.
However, is it possible to open a new topic in this forum to collect this kind of information?! :?:

Hi, I wouldn´t recommend sharing ANY successful proposal; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE.

And it´s not because of egoism or being selfish - it´s just strictly confidential information in many cases and I bet that our Supervisors and Hosting Institutions have the same opinion.

There are many useful guides. Just google "how to write a successful MC proposal" or something like this.

Yes, I think it might be a good idea to open another topic for helping beginners. ;)

Yes, that is fair enough. Confidentiality is key here, I guess.. I just wanted to hear from the experienced users here. This forum has a good potential!
