What these figures do not say

Four files out of five are not selected. Behind every rejection there is a real situation we are not answering. Publishing our successes without saying so would give a false picture of our work.

  • They asked me for a detailed budget and supporting documents. It was demanding, and that is precisely what made me take my own project seriously.

  • My application was turned down the first time. They explained why, I reworked it, and it went through the following year.
