2 Presentation Outline Part 1 - Intro and Background Seventh Framework Programme ( ) - overview Part 2 - Funding Schemes Starting Independent Researcher Grant Advanced Investigator Grant Part 3 Submission and Evaluation Panel Structure Evaluation criteria Previous Calls- data

3 Seventh Framework Programme Main instrument of the EU for funding research Cooperation Collaborative Research Ideas Frontier Research People Marie Curie Actions Capacities Research Capacity

4 FP7- Ideas => ERC The first European funding body set up to support bottom-up, investigator-driven frontier research Supporting and encouraging the very best, truly creative scientists, scholars and engineers to be adventurous and take risks in their research Targets both new and established researchers Encouraged to go beyond established frontiers of knowledge and the boundaries of disciplines Implemented through a new Agency => ERCEA

5 How is the ERC organised? An integrated structure with a specific vocation Independent scientific governance Scientific Council with 22 members Dedicated Implementation Structure Executive Agency with 389 employees by 2013

6 The Scientific Council The Scientific Council Establishing and controlling the funding strategy/methodologies 22 scientists reflecting the full scope of European research and scholarship President : Prof. H. Nowotny Honorary President: Prof. F. Kafatos Vice president : Dr. D. Estève Establishes overall scientific strategy establishes annual work programmes (incl. calls for proposals, evaluation criteria); defines peer review methodology; ensures selection and accreditation of experts Controls quality of operations and management Ensures communication with the scientific community

7 ERC- Current State of Play ERCEA became autonomous on 16 July 2009 Executive Agencies - Set up for a fixed time to manage EC programmes EAs are autonomous but accountable to the EC Other examples are REA (Research Executive Agency) and EACI

8 The Executive Agency : ERCEA Implementing and operating the funding strategy/methodologies Executes annual work programme as established by the Scientific Council Implements calls for proposals and provides information and support to applicants Organises peer review evaluation Establishes and manages grant agreements Administers scientific and financial aspects and follow-up of grant agreements

9 The Executive Agency : ERCEA The Executive Agency : ERCEA Implementing and operating the funding strategy/methodologies Secretary General Prof. Andreu Mas Colell Ensures liaison between SC, ERCEA and EC Monitors the effective and sound implementation of the SC s strategy and positions Director (ad-interim) Dr. Jack Metthey Responsible for implementing the strategy as established by the Scientific Council Managing the agency and staff

10 The Executive Agency : ERCEA Based in Covent Garden, Brussels Currently over 280 staff Scientific Department (B) Many staff have research experience

11 ERC Grant Schemes Who can apply? General Requirements Principal Investigator Nationality, age or current place of work not relevant Host organisation To be located in MS or AC Frontier Research Project All fields of science, engineering and scholarship are eligible (investigator-driven, bottom-up) Individual research team PI has freedom to choose team members

12 Host institution Applicant legal entity: institution that engages and hosts the PI for the duration of the project Any type of legal entity: universities, research centres, business research units as long as it is in MS or AC Commitment of HI: to ensure that the PI may - apply for funding independently - manage research and funding for the project - publish independently as senior author - have access to reasonable space and facilities => Intra-EU portability of the grant 12

13 ERC Grant Schemes What kind of research is funded? Frontier Research pursuit of questions at or beyond the frontiers of knowledge Any field of research Pioneering proposals addressing new and emerging fields of research Unconventional, innovative approaches Impact on science, scholarhip or engineering High-gain/High-risk

14 ERC Grant schemes Boost European excellence in frontier research Funding Strategy: 3R and 2 schemes Aim: Retain Repatriate Recruit Favour brain gain and reverse brain drain improve career opportunities and independence - especially for young researchers increase competition, recognition and international visibility - for excellent individual scientists and scholars in Europe raise aspiration and achievement of basic research in Europe Activities: Two complementary funding schemes ERC Starting Grant (StG): attract & retain the next generation of independent research leaders ERC Advanced Grant (AdG): attract & reward established independent research leaders 14

15 ERC Grant Schemes Operational Principles Application in response to calls for proposals -Principal Investigators applies in conjunction and on behalf of a researchperforming host institution -Electronic submission only -via EPSS Staged Evaluation Procedure -to manage large number of expected applications Panel-based international peer review process Scientific Council defines panels, selects panel chairs/members and peer reviewers -Panels assess and rank proposals (based on individual assessments by additional peer reviewers, panel meetings, interviews with StG applicants) 15

18 Presentation Outline Part 1 - Intro and Background Seventh Framework Programme ( ) -overview Part 2 - Funding Schemes Starting Independent Researcher Grant Advanced Researcher Grant Part 3 Submission and Evaluation Panel Structure Evaluation criteria Previous Calls- data

19 Objective of the Starting Grant Objective is to provide critical and adequate support to the independent careers of excellent researchers, whatever their nationality, located in or moving to the Member States or Associated countries, who are at the stage of starting or consolidating their own independent research team or, depending on the field, their independent research programme

20 Profile of StG applicant Am I a competitive candidate? Potential for research independence and leadership -evidence of scientific maturity to lead a team/programme -track-record of early research achievements appropriate to the research field and career stage -At least one publication without participation of PhD supervisor Promising track-record of early achievements - significant publications - invited presentations in conferences - funding, patents, awards, prizes Specific stage of research career at time of application - starters - consolidators Streaming

21 StG Applicant: PhD Requirement New timeframe window is currently planned First PhD awarded 2-10 (2-12!?) years before call publication date - starters (PhD award: 2-6 (2-7) years) - consolidators (PhD award: 6-10 (7-12) years) - responsability of applicant to justify change the stage (exceptionally) - final decision by the panel Extension may be requested: - up to 14.5 (16.5 ) years - maternity (up 18 months/child) / paternity leave (up 12 months/child), - long-term illness, military service, statutory reasons (clinical qualification) - applies to starter / consolidator stage - must be supported by official documents

22 Size of a StG Grant Possible requested amount : max 1,500,000 for 5 years + 500,000 if new research activity in EU by moving from third country Eligible costs: Support the project (personnel, equipment, consumables, travel, admin.) Non-eligible (taxes, provisions, debts, related to another project) No double-funding Assessment: Requested budget reviewed by panel- > total amount granted

23 Eligibility & Re-Submissions Ineligibility - submission after the deadline - incomplete proposals including annexes - no commitment letter from HI - HI outside EU or AC - PhD award date (>10 or <2) - missing supporting official documents Re-application - only one active ERC grant at any time - only one application per PI within a calendar year - if : only if > threshold step 2 - if : only if > threshold step 1

24 New Feature: Streaming First time implemented in 2010 Call Success rate will be kept comparable between the two streams Ultimate decision on streaming is with the panels

25 Streaming - Starters vs Consolidators Work programme states: PIs will be assessed by the evaluation panels as "starters" or "consolidators taking into account the specific stage of their research career at the time of the application. - PhD award date counting from the date of the Call publication Starters: 2<PhD <6 Consolidators: 6<PhD<10 All objective reasons that apply for extending the eligibility window apply by analogy to extending the starter window Valid reasons (only if the event happened in the first 6 years): 1 child=18 months; military service; illness. Career break outside science/research (e.g. volunteer work, professional activity completely unrelated to research career, unemployment, etc.) Non-valid reasons: difficulties with experiments ; personal difficulties with post-doc supervisor; two PhDs ; working as a professional in a company in same or close field

26 Streaming : Starters vs. Consolidators PI has to request the change from Consolidator to Starter (the opposite is not possible) Must be supported by documents Final responsibility/decision rests with the Panel Chair c2 Example: case of PhD > 6 Consolidator : - if birth of child (or military service or unemployment) occurred in the first 6 (7) years then the change to Starter is allowed - if the event occurred in years 6-10 (7-12) then change is not allowed as the PI had 6 (7) years to develop his/her career 26

28 Starting Grant 2010 Interviews Are going to take place at Step 2 meetings Interviews will last between minutes in total 5-15 minutes presentation by the PI minutes: questions and answers Panels take into account the results of the interview alongside the other elements Invited applicants are reimbursed

29 Objective of the Advanced Grant Objective is to encourage and support excellent, innovative investigator-initiated research projects by leading advanced investigators across the Member States and Associated countries. This funding stream complements the Starting Grant scheme by targeting the population of researchers who have already established themselves as being independent research leaders in their own right.

30 Size of an AdG Grant Normally, the level of the grant is expected to be limited to a maximum of around 2.5 M Euro An additional 1 M Euro may be applied for if the application involves a move of the PI to the EU or Associated Countries from a third country (for example, USA to France), purchase of major research equipment or a co-pi Max grant may be up to around 3.5 M Euro for a period of 5 years

31 Advanced Grant Am I a competitive candidate? Active researchers having a track-record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years Benchmarks (one or more below) including 10 publications as senior author 3 major research monographs 5 granted patents 10 invited presentations International recognition through scientific prizes/awards or membership in well-regarded academies

48 Submission and Evaluation Applicant submit to a Targeted Panel Can choose alternative/secondary Panel Final decision is with Panel Chair (can change Panel! Cfr: Rules of Submission) In case of cross-panel/cros-domain proposal evaluation by members of other Panels 46

49 Two step Evaluation Step 1: Only Part B1 is evaluated (PI and Project) Evaluated by Panel Members and members of other panels (if interdisciplinary) Proposals need to pass threshold to be retained to next Step Only highly ranked proposals (and within 2-3 times the available budget for each Panel) are retained for step 2 Step 2 Both Part B1 and B2 are evaluated against all three evaluation criteria Proposals are evaluated by Panel Members and Remote Referees nominated by Panel Members 47

50 Evaluation on Excellence Scientific Excellence is the sole criterion Only the criteria published in the Call are applied Evaluation of excellence at 3 levels: Quality of principal investigator Quality of the research project Quality of research environment (at step 2) 4: oustanding 3: excellent 2: very good 1: non-competitive Referees and panels evaluate and score criteria 1 & 2 numerically which results in the ranking of the projects: 1-4 per criterion threshold 2 per criterion Criteria 3 is considered as "pass/fail"

51 Evaluation Criteria Potential of the Principal Investigator: (last 10 years for AdG) Quality of research output (track record, qualification, achievements, independence, reputation) Intellectual capacity and creativity (collaborations, mentoring, challenge confrontation, initiative for new lines of thinking) and capacity to attract funding (AdG) Quality of the research project: Ground-breaking nature (challenges, ambition, trans-discipinarity, new concepts) Potential impact (open new horizons, enhance frontier research in Europe) Methodology (approach, timescale, resources, feasibility) High risk/high gain balance (new or unconventional methodology, major breakthrough) Research environment: Contribution to the project (infrastructural and intellectual environment) Participation of other legal entities (if added value to the proposal)

52 Interdisciplinarity Novel interdisciplinary approaches can open potentials for new fields of science and can contribute to the excellence of a proposal To overcome traditional, discipline-based review systems in fairly evaluating interdisciplinary proposals ERC has a specific approach (mainstreaming; Interdisciplinary Domain): ERC panels may only loosely follow disciplinary lines Proposals can be assigned to members of other panels and to freely-chosen referees to better match expertise 13% of the budget is allocated to an Interdisciplinary Domain

53 Review Process STEP 1 STEP 2 Remote assessment by Panel members of section 1 Remote assessment by Panel members and reviewers of all sections Panel meeting Panel meeting + interview (StG) Proposals retained for step 2 Consolidating Panel chairs meeting Feedback to applicants Ranked list of proposals
