I am currently writing the proposal for a Horizon 2020 ERC grant, which strengthens "strengthen independent and excellent new individual research teams that have been recently created." It's around 10% success rate... but it would be so so fabulous if I got this.
Here is the call - it's amazing:

UPDATE July 2016:
I didn't get the grant - but I got very good reviews. So I am currently in the process of recycling (and down-scaling!) the proposal to be submitted to the German Research Foundation. Watch this space....
