as i told you, proposal being select is not about the proposal, it is about how far you have established in this community -say how many papers you published, how much you make the manager know about you, how good you please /team up big bulls in this topic. otherwise, any comments can kill your proposal. "工夫在诗外"
In my field NSF, you need at least 3 excellent out of 5, and the rest very good. One fair can easily kill any proposal. I always deem proposal as a stochastic process, you sometimes get it sometimes not, almost no correlation with quality of the proposals (assuming your proposals meet the minimum quality standard). There are always millions of reasons to kill a proposal, but only limited reasons to fund a proposal.
这个我很赞同啊. "it is about how far you have established in this community" 对资深的适用,对新faculty也一样适用.
