2017 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2017)
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Happy new year everybody! Best wishes for the new year and fingers crossed for MSCA!
@Amar: They send out notifications by email when the results are available online.
@Aberfeldy: Cool! Hopefully that's a good sign! The funding rates per fellowship actually differ a lot on each panel, but it's generally between 12-17% I've found. When they asked for ethics information, did they ask you to add specific information that you flagged but left out? Or did they want you to elaborate on what you had already written?
Any past recipients have a similar email about ethics?

Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Template
Hi All, recently I realized I didnot really follow the template for my proposal. I thought the template is set for evaluation and didnot follow the order of three sections. The host didnot point out the problem for me either. Would that affect my fate for being evaluated fairly? I know I probably have added difficulties for evaluators, just wanna ask if anyone run into the same problem in the past.
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Template
Depends on how far out you were from the template and how you covered the sections. The evaluators mark proposals on the things the headings ask for. You don't have to follow the template - I left out a heading myself because its content was covered in another section.Lucky2018 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2018 7:14 pmHi All, recently I realized I didnot really follow the template for my proposal.

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Template
Thank you for your feedback. I was really worried. I had no experience and didnot study the general template people have been using. Just felt pity if I fail the application because of the formatting issue. It probably depends how evaluators judge it.CountZ wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2018 10:54 pmDepends on how far out you were from the template and how you covered the sections.

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
This is my first time to apply for EU fellowship. My host institutions are in UK and my project proposal ask 100% EU contribution. I am a little bit concern what BREXIT and ask for 100% from EU can effect my application?
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Hi there! I know other cases like yours. Some of which I read of and one I know personally. It is very highly probable (I would say, almost sure) that you got it!aberfeldy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 10:39 pmHi guys! Happy holidays y'all! My stress got me to this forum I thought to ask you if you have any ideas about my status. I applied with EF-SE (LIF) and a week ago I got a follow up asking me to submit more info for my ethics section - attachments etc. They only gave me 2 weeks to upload it all on. Not sure if that is a good or a bad sign....Also, based on the budget 10M and 173 proposals being submitted...how many you think will be funded? My round estimate is 55...so 31% success rate, which is lower than last year...
Btw, it is my first ever fellowship application so adrenaline is properly on!
Just an info. Did you leave the ethics section empty or almost empty?
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
I found the guide for the ethics experts that explains the process:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/fi ... 2017_2.pdf.
It does say that ethics reviews are conducted for "proposals likely to be funded", so maybe danGFSOC is right.

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Brexit won't affect this year's call. Any btw it's normal that MSCA grants cover 100%... Are you talking about a different grant?IF_IAMYOURS wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:36 amThis is my first time to apply for EU fellowship.

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
@flynix thank you for your response. I am talking about MSCA. Actually I contacted PI just 10 days before the closing date and he told me if I had contacted him a bit earlier than he might have included indigenous department fund support to enhance the chance of acceptance.flynix wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 1:07 pmBrexit won't affect this year's call.

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Ah ok that makes sense. A host can "top-up" the EU contribution but I'm not sure they can replace it. In any case, you won't be penalized for that
