The initial result of Marie curie IIF programme out

Hi friends
I have applied for Marie curie FP7 fellowship, under the category individual actions. I applied for this fellowship through a german host of Max planck society, klon. The proposal submitted by us got selected in the first round, but with a marginal cut off mark. The final stage selection result will be avaliable by 7th December, thats is after two days. Its bit tensed and I am very anxious about the result, because, this fellowship is very competitive and very few (41) candidates around globe are selected and funded.

I keeping my fingers crossed, because this felloswhip will definitely helpful in briding my Biotech company dreams.

Let us See, where ur proposal gets ranked and is there any scope for our project to be funded. So around 41 proposals, will be funded from the pool of 116 proposals, which passed the threshold. The chance for winning the fellowship is 41/116  = 35.43 % , that  is my chance to win
fellowship is not very bad. 

In 2005, aorund 83 proposals got funded, among 580 eligibile proposals. But this time only 41 proposals are going to get funded, I think elgibile proposals were 
3 times that of the 116, so the total eligible proposals are 116 x 3 = 348. Roughly 10% of the 116 proposals were 
from India and I think around 4 - 5 will get funded.

So, my proposal is 1 among the 12 indian proposal, that met the threshold cutoff mark. I think the project which I have written is more relevant to current application, with some basic research interest.
Again with indian scenario, 4 proposal among 12, makes 30% success rate.

So, statistically, there is every possibility that, our project can be funded.

Let us hope for the best............. Thanks for all  those hearts, that pray for me.

with regards
Elan
