At the start of 2018, NWO announced that it would require an embedding guarantee from candidates for the Veni and Vidi funding rounds and that it would evaluate this measure after one year. The evaluation has now been completed and reveals that the measure has led to the number of applications for the Vidi grant being reduced by more than 25% compared to 2017. Additionally, it turns out that the embedding guarantee has not led to a discipline, institution or institute no longer being able to participate in the Vidi round.
