Your real odds

No acceptance rate is public, and the applicant pool is global, so competition is real and diffuse.

Grant amounts are set per project with no stated typical range, and the program explicitly values moonshots and unconventional thinking, so a safe or conventional proposal will not stand out.

What it takes

Write a proposal under 1500 words3 to 7 days

Prepare an estimated budget1 to 2 days

Submit the online application and materials1 to 2 hrs

Worth knowing

The application includes a deliberately reversed trick question, asking which mainstream consensus view you actually agree with, designed to catch reflexive contrarianism rather than reward it, and credentials are explicitly de-prioritized in favor of your personal story and the originality of your idea.
