The second key finding of the @EPSRC report on gender in the grant portfolio is basically that women have lower success rates than men when applying for high value grants. The chart of award rate by grant value range is so striking that we’re going to show it again here: 
In many ways, what’s striking here is not the lowish success rate for women applying for very large amounts of money, but the very high success rate for men.
For example the “Male AR by number” data tells us that roughly three quarters of men applying for >£10M get awarded the money they asked for. That compares to a typical ~30% success rate for lower grant values, with some recent responsive mode rounds having success rates <20%.
