1 European Research Council Grants: To apply or not to apply? Nicolas Sifakis Research Director IAASARS NOA Seconded to the ERCEA Scientific Management Department 3 December National Observatory of Athens
2 Outline What does ERC offer? Funding schemes, opportunities The Evaluation Procedure/ERC Modus operandi How to prepare and submit a grant proposal Tips, rumours and the "truth" 2
3 ERC in the H2020 Structure The HORIZON 2020 main components: Excellent Science World class science is foundation of technologies, jobs, well-being Europe needs to develop, attract, retain research talent Researchers need access to the best infrastructures Industrial leadership Societal challenges Excellent Science: European Research Council Future and Emerging Technologies Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions Research Infrastructures 3 3
4 What is special about the ERC? All fields of science and scholarship are eligible Investigator driven, bottom up High risk high gain research Scientific Excellence is the only criterion Individual team + research project Irrespectively of nationality, gender or age of researchers Attractive grants Significant, flexible grants, up to five years Under full control of the PI Independent individual teams in Europe All nationalities can apply Host organisation to be located in EU or AC (portable!) 4
5 ERC offers to grantees independence, recognition & visibility to work on a topic of own choice, with a team of own choice to attract top team members (EU and non-eu) and collaborators to gain true financial autonomy for 5 years to negotiate with the HI the best conditions of work to benefit from the possibility of portability of grants to attract additional funding and gain recognition 5
6 Figures and facts 6
7 ERC Grant funding schemes StG starters (2-7 years after PhD) up to 2.0 M for 5 years CoG consolidators (7-12 years after PhD) up to 2.75 M for 5 years AdG track-record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years up to 3.5 M for 5 years Proof-of-Concept Exclusively for ERC grant holders bridging gap between research - earliest stage of marketable innovation, up to 150,000 7

9 # Applicants ERC StG, CoG, AdG 2014 Age of applicants at call publication date AdG 2014 CoG 2014 StG Age of applicants at call publication date 9
10 Who can apply to ERC? Excellent Researchers Any nationality, any age or any current place of work In conjunction with a Host Institution based in EU or associated countries 10 10
11 Host institution Applicant legal entity: Institution that engages and hosts the PI for the duration of the project (25% overheads to HI) 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 11
12 25 panels for all areas of science in 3 domains Each panel: PC and PMs Social Sciences and Humanities (SH) 6 SH1 Individuals, institutions & markets SH2 Institutions, values, beliefs and behaviour SH3 Environment & society SH4 The Human Mind and its complexity SH5 Cultures & cultural production SH6 The study of the human past Physical Sciences & Engineering (PE) 10 PE1 Mathematical foundations PE2 Fundamental constituents of matter PE3 Condensed matter physics PE4 Physical & Analytical Chemical sciences PE5 Materials & Synthesis PE6 Computer science & informatics PE7 Systems & communication engineering PE8 Products & process engineering PE9 Universe sciences PE10 Earth system science Life Sciences (LS) 9 LS1 Molecular & Structural Biology & Biochemistry LS2 Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics & Systems Biology LS3 Cellular and Developmental Biology LS4 Physiology, Pathophysiology & Endocrinology LS5 Neurosciences & neural disorders LS6 Immunity & infection LS7 Diagnostic tools, therapies & public health LS8 Evolutionary, population & environmental biology LS9 Applied life sciences & biotechnology 12
13 Who evaluates the proposals? Panel members: typically 600 / call High-level scientists Recruited by ScC from all over the world About members plus a chair person USA (7%) Other (7%) Referees: typically 2000 / call Evaluate only a small number of proposals Similar to normal practise in peer-reviewed journals 13
14 ERC panel members by country of HI and gender ERC StG, CoG and AdG calls Men Women UK DE FR IT ES NL SE BE AT DK FI PL HU CZ PT EL IE RO BG CY SK LT EE SI CH IL NO TR RS HR IS US JP CA AU TW CL HK RU UA AR MX EU Member States Associated C. International Country of Panel Member's Host Institution 14 Based on the eight ERC StG and AdG calls
15 General impression of review process Very fair & professional (careful reviews, careful checks on reviewers & review process) Excellent oversight, preparation & screening for possible COIs by ERC staff Very many excellent proposals, too small budget highly competitive 15
16 Evaluation Criteria Excellence as sole criterion, to apply to: Research Project Ground breaking nature Potential impact Scientific approach Principle Investigator (PI) Intellectual capacity Creativity Commitment 16
17 How does it work? Submission, evaluation and selection Submission of full proposals Eligibility check Individual assessment of full proposal by panel members + referees Step 1 (remote) evaluation on the basis of Part B1 of proposal by panel members 1st Panel meeting AdG : 2nd Panel meeting CoG, StG: 2nd Panel meeting + interviews of applicants Proposals passing to Step 2 Proposals selected for funding 17 17
18 Submission of proposals Proposal structure PART A online forms PART B1 submitted as pdf A1 A2 A3 Proposal and PI info Host Institution info Budget Extended Synopsis 5 pages CV 2 p. Track Record 2 p. Annexes submitted as pdf Statement of support of HI copy of PhD or equiv. (StG & CoG) If applicable: document for extension of eligibility window (StG & CoG) explanatory information on ethical issues PART B2 submitted as pdf Scientific Proposal 15 p. (incl. budget table) 18
19 Extensions of eligibility window Extensions of eligibility window possible for StG and CoG for documented situations of: Maternity 18 months per child Paternity effective time taken off Military service Medical speciality training Caring for seriously ill family members No limit to the total extension 19
20 Panel meeting Step 1 Scoring Results of Step 1: A. Proposal is of sufficient quality to pass to Step 2 of the evaluation B. Proposal is of high quality but not sufficient to pass to Step 2 of the evaluation C. Proposal is not of sufficiently high quality to pass to Step 2 of the evaluation 20
21 Feedback to applicants Step 2 results Results of Step 2: A. Proposal fully meets the ERC's excellence criterion and is recommended for funding if sufficient funds are available B. Proposal meets some but not all elements of the ERC's excellence criterion and will not be funded At the end of both steps, applicants will be informed about the ranking range of their proposal out of all proposals evaluated by the panel. 21
22 Restrictions of reapplications Ever increasing number of applications causes low success rates and high panel workload New for 2016 call applicants: those who receive a B at Step 1 have to wait out one year those who receive a C will have to wait out two years 22
23 Questions to ask yourself as an applicant Is my project new, innovative, bringing in new solutions? theory? applications? Does it promise to go substantially beyond the state of the art? Why is my proposed project important? Is it timely? (Why wasn't it done in the past? Is it feasible now?) What's the risk? Is it justified by a substantial potential gain? Do I have a plan for managing the risk? Why am I the best/only person to carry it out? Am I internationally competitive as a researcher at my career stage and in my discipline? Am I able to work independently, and to manage a 5-year project with a substantial budget How can I prove/support my case? 23
24 Preparing an application Choose your Host Institution (to be done well in advance) Select the "right" Panel very IMPORTANT, ID explanation Choose your descriptors and free keywords carefully Talk to the National Contact Points and your institution's grant office Register early, get familiar with the system and templates and start filling in the forms respecting formatting rules and page limits A submitted proposal can be revised until the call deadline by submitting a new version and overwriting the previous one. Download and proof-read the proposal before submitting Make use of using all help tools and call documents (Information for Applicants, Work Programme, FAQ) 24 24
25 Submission of Proposals Differences in Part B1 and Part B2 In Step 1: Panel members (generalists and with multidisciplinary approaches) see only Part B1 of your proposal: Prepare it accordingly! Pay particular attention to the ground-breaking nature of the research project no incremental research. State-of-the-art is not enough. Think big! Know your competitors what is the state of play and why is your idea and scientific approach outstanding? Only the extended Synopsis is read at Step 1: concise and clear presentation is crucial (evaluators are not necessarily all experts in the field) Outline of the methodological approach (feasibility) Show your scientific independence in your CV (model CV provided in the part B1 template) Funding ID to be filled in 25
26 Submission of Proposals Differences in Part B1 and Part B2 In Step 2: Both Part B1 and B2 are sent to specialists around the world (specialised external referees) Do not just repeat the synopsis Provide sufficient detail on methodology, work plan, selection of case studies etc. (15 pages) Check coherency of figures, justify requested resources Explain involvement of team members (ERC proposals are NOT collaborative ones) Provide alternative strategies to mitigate risk 26
27 Submission of Proposals Proposal budget considerations Budget analysis carried out in Step 2 evaluation (meeting) Panels have responsibility to ensure that resources requested are reasonable and well justified Budget cuts need to be justified on a proposal by proposal basis (no across-the-board cuts) Panels to recommend a final maximum budget based on the resources allocated/ removed Panels do not micro-manage project finances Awards made on a take-it-or-leave-it basis: no negotiations 27
28 Tips 1- Host Institution It is your choice (in MS or Associated countries) You can change it during the project's life (e.g. your career) Negotiate with the HI (your position, equipment, administrative support, access to infrastructure, etc.) Rumours 1. The quality /fame of the HI is increasing my chances/scores 2. There is a lobbying from the not so successful countries to introduce a quota NOT true, 1. the HI is not an evaluation criteria and it is never discussed at the evaluation meetings, 2. lobbying is firmly rejected, but WG are set-up to support less successful countries WP 28
29 Tips 2- Submission; Descriptors and free keywords Decides on the panel which will evaluate your proposal Is the basis of allocation to the panel members (with various expertise) Will determine whether a cross panel evaluation is necessary Rumours 1. Choose the panel "strategically" 2. The more cross panel descriptors are indicated, the higher the funding chances, i.e. indicates inter-disciplinarity NOT really true, 1. Your project might be evaluated by a "wrong" panel" (only with restricted expertise) 2. If your project is interdisciplinary, decide on the evaluating panel based on the dominating innovative element of your project 29
30 Tips 3- The project Obvious link between Parts B1 and B2 (both evaluated only in step 2) Clear and logical presentation (keep the recommended length) Make use of the evaluation criteria (use them as title/subtitle) Make the project "easy to read and attractive" Give timeline and show you did your homework (references/literature) Describe accurately the requested budget vs. the proposed research ( Rumours 1. Ask for more money, the reviewers will anyhow cut it down 2. I need preliminary results NOT true, 1. Unexplained or non-motivated requests can be cut down 2. If you have preliminary results include them, if they are absent, explain the "hypothesis" show support in literature 30
31 Tips 4- The CV As important as your project (almost) Clear and logical presentation (list all relevant facts) "guide the reviewer" Have a Researcher ID that can be generated on the web of science (submit the web address in the application If you know that you have gaps or other issues in your CV (e.g. co-authored publications), explain them Give trend (if possible) Describe accurately any other activity which can indicate scientific maturity Rumours One needs publications in Nature/Science/Cell high-if journals to succeed NOT true, however, publishing with senior scientists (former supervisors) raises doubts about maturity/scientific independence. Give publishing trend is possible, explain gaps in the trend (maternity, illness, army,..), explain publishing habits in your field and country. 31
32 Tips 5- The evaluation Think through your project, have a logical and clear step by step description Explain risks if you can identify them and have a contingency plan "Guide the reviewer", use evaluation criteria as title/subtitle Rumours 1.There is request to include PMs from all Member States in the panels, not all are competent 2.PMs are generalists, with only few real experts, those can influence the panel decision 3.Expert PMs influence the panel decision by lobbying for their own country NOT true, however, 1.if equal excellence/expertise is present, a positive discrimination might be applied (considering gender, grantee, geographic location, etc.) 2.PMs are excellent scientists, all used to evaluate projects at national and international level 3.The panel meetings are assisted by ERC scientific officers and independent observers (including members of the Scientific Council) to assure equal treatment and objective evaluation 32
33 Tips 6- Interview: PRACTICE!!! Show your interest and enthusiasm to be remembered by the PMs Have clear and representative slides ("Less is more"!), focus on SCIENCE! Bring additional slides on new supporting data, if you can/have Look at the panel and not to the wall/slides - to be remembered by the PMs Answer all questions, if not sure ask back the question Don't over-explain your CV Keep the time Rumours 1. Choose your Acronym in alphabetical order, interviews are planned after alphabet 2.Late PM interviews have less chance, PMs are tired NOT true, however, 1. Easy to remember acronym helps identifying the project during discussions 2. Tiredness can be there, "shake" the PMs up, place a joke, a comment 33
34 After the interview Redressing Before Redressing: don't blame the evaluator, see what could you have done/explain/present better Diverting scientific opinions are not motivating a redress An obvious mistake might result in a re-evaluation 34
35 Increasing your chances Address all evaluation criteria carefully Be clear when describing scientific excellence Show your ability of thinking outside the box Show the progress beyond the state-of-the-art If you have supporting preliminary results, include them Support (literature) & visualise your hypothesis, if possible use charts, tables, images Show "proof of maturity", think through the research you propose, identify risks and propose alternatives to reach the goal (contingency) Be realistic with your goals (don't over-dimension the Work Plan) Have a well presented CV Choose the correct descriptors (key words), don't "overuse" them Use your own key words 35
36 To avoid: Overdo beefing up your CV e.g. 4 th co-author on some oral or poster presentations Overstate your own contribution, experience, creativity Try to solve all the World s problems Ignore risks Write your proposal in a rush. 36
37 Typical reasons for rejection Principal investigator Insufficient track-record Insufficient (potential for) independence Insufficient experience in leading projects Proposed project Scope: Too narrow too broad/unfocussed Incremental research Collaborative project, several PIs Work plan not detailed enough/unclear Insufficient risk management Interview Discussions/addressing the questions Presentation 37
38 To do: Focus on ONE well-defined scientifically-relevant problem. Tell a very good story, comprehensible to the non-expert. Be frank about risks. If possible, mention fallback options Be honest and modest (contributions by you and others, relevance to the research field) 38
39 Final recommendation Tailor your CV well in advance and take the time to prepare and submit your best scientific idea! It s worth it ERC puts all efforts into making the review process as fair as possible though you may still need some luck as well. 39

43 Some examples of recent ERC projects relevant to research activities in NOA OGLEIV is an optical gravitational lensing experiment leading to new frontiers in observational astronomy using one of the largest scale sky surveys worldwide (University of Warsaw). FLOODCHANGE analyses 200-year flood data from selected catchments building a flood-change model to predict how variations in one parameter could affect floods levels, and will attempt predicting how floods will change in the future (Vienna University of Technology). MODES deals with modal analysis of atmospheric balance, predictability and climate by studying some of the reasons behind the uncertainty of weather analyses and forecasts (University of Ljubljana). SIREAL addresses seismology in the ionosphere., and would contribute to determine parameters of seismic source from ionospheric data shortly after an earthquake (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) 43
