*_Final Opportunities For Funding For Marie Curie Fellowships in FP7_*__

*As the EU Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development 
2007-2013 (FP7) comes to a close in the coming months, there are calls 
for proposals under the Marie Curie Programme for Research Fellowships 
which should be of particular interest for Strathclyde.  For the 
Intra-European Fellowships (IEFs) and the Incoming International 
Fellowships (IIFs), a larger financial allocation than in previous calls 
will be made, with an increase of around 10% in budget from the previous 
round.  Some â?¬134m will be allocated to IEFs and â?¬44.5m to IIFs.  
The budget for Career Integration Grants will remain constant.  A few 
details of these schemes follow.*

*IEFs.  Under the Intra-European Fellowships, researchers with a PhD or 
four years full-time equivalent research experience can come from 
another EU country or country associated to FP7  to spend 12 -24 months 
at Strathclyde as host University.  They should not have been resident 
or carrying out their main work activity in the UK for more than 12 
months of the 3 years prior to application deadline.  Salary of 
Researcher, research costs and contribution to overheads are paid on a 
100% basis by the European Commission. The call opens on 14 March 2013 
and closes on 14 August 2013.*

*IIFs.  Under the International Incoming Fellowships, the same terms 
broadly apply, except that the researchers come from countries outside 
of the EU that are not formally associated to FP7.  The emphasis is more 
on what we gain in knowledge from the incoming researcher than in the 
IEFs. The call and deadline dates are the same.*

*International Outgoing Fellowships offer the opportunity, under similar 
conditions, for Strathclyde researchers to spend a period of 12-24 
months in a high level organisation in a country outside of the EU or 
associated FP7 states in a manner that will benefit their research 
careers. The call again closes on 14 August 2013.*

*Two closing dates also remain for Career Integration Grants.  Under 
these, flat rate annual contributions for up to 4 years are available to 
help researchers who are early in their careers to establish themselves 
â?? as such they are well suited to newly appointed such researchers.  
The final calls close on 7 March 2013 and 18 October 2013.*

*More details of all of these schemes can be found at: 
http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/documents/documentation/legal-docs/marie-curie-actions-fellowships-people-wp-201301_en.pdf. 
We would urge research leaders to give serious consideration to the 
possibilities under these final FP7 calls relating to Fellowships.  
Experienced assistance in presenting applications is available in RKES 
â?? please contact Martin Gregory (martin.gregory at strath.ac.uk 
<mailto:martin.gregory at strath.ac.uk>, ext. 2524).  Martin, together with 
Claire Nimmo (Researcher Development Programme), are at the disposal of 
staff to help with the content and structuring of text in applications 
for these Fellowships in ways that can make a difference in accumulating 
the marks needed for success in the selection process.  A Hints and Tips 
Guide to writing Marie Curie Fellowships can also be found on the 
Internationalisation Portal â?? please visit:

*Please do not wait for the issue of the calls in March 2013 â?? you can 
begin or continue the process of identifying and encouraging suitable 
candidates now.*

*With best regards,*

Exchange) and Tim Bedford (Associate Deputy Principal for Research 
Enhancement and Knowledge Exchange)*
