Country of origin and success in the pre-and full proposal stage
The number of successful principal investigators per country is shown in figure 1a (pre-proposals; stage I) and in figure 1b (full proposals; stage II).
NEURON aims to increase the number of research groups from countries that are to date not well integrated in the funding scheme, so called ‘underrepresented’ countries. NEURON developed a Widening Concept comprising different measures to facilitate the integration of ‘underrepresented’ countries. As part of this, consortia that were invited to submit a full proposal were given the opportunity to add new groups from ‘underrepresented’ countries. Thus, a total of eight new research groups was added between pre- and full proposal stage.
Gender distribution
The percentage of female researchers at the different stages of the call is shown in figure2.
The number of coordinators of funded proposals (18 in total) per country is shown in figure 3. 50% of the funded coordinators are female.
