How long do the Marie Curie IF grant results take to come out?

Question

I submitted a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship at the beginning of September and as of now (Jan) I have not heard back —I have checked the ECAS portal. The website does not give a single Gantt chart or time frame ironically. So I would like to know how long have people waited?

I am also wonder if a long wait is a possible hint of rejection, like with jobs. Has anyone got a feeling that this is case? I know there is a accepted, reserve, rejected list, which would suggest that this isn't the case.

Answer 1

The Guide for applicants says that information on the outcome of the evaluation will be available in February 2016. For reference: I applied in the previous round (the timeline was the same give or take a few days) and received a notice that the proposal was approved in the beginning of February. There was no communication before that, so I wouldn't read anything into that.
