Information on the 2017 Marsden Fund round
Information about the number of funded proposals in the 2017 Marsden Fund round broken down by research area and institution, also including gender and ethnicity data
Number of applications by research area
The number of proposals by panel is given in Table 1. While overall 12.0% of the Expressions of Interest have been funded at the final stage, this percentage is not constant over all panels or categories as a change of just one proposal — attributed to either a Fast-Start or Standard award — in the number of successful proposals causes significant change in this percentage.
Here are the definitions of the 10 Marsden Fund panels
