what's wild about the Marsden Fund (NZ's primary grant for basic science) is that after a two-step review, the payline is ~10%
this is a comparable success rate at NIH for the R01, the standard biomedical 'large grant' in the states....except an R01 is ~5-10 times larger than a Marsden

Congratulations to the 28% of applicants who got their Marsden through to the full proposal!

On the plus side, maximum amount is ~1 million USD over four years (including indi), so just enough to cover my salary and one PhD student. Fingers crossed...
the K99 is a fantastic mechanism in the states. I started my first 'real job' on that grant's "big sibling", a DP5, which skips the postdoc transition and launches right into an R01-style project.
