DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship Success Rate

I’m planning to apply for the DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship to pursue a research stay abroad and wanted to get some first-hand insights from the community. Specifically, I’m curious about:

1. Immunology Panel Review Time – For those who have applied recently, how long did it take for the immunology panel to review applications and provide feedback?
2. Success Rate for Abroad Fellowships – Do you have any sense of the acceptance rate for these fellowships, particularly for immunology or related life sciences?
3. Personal Experiences – Any tips, lessons learned, or experiences you’d like to share about applying or completing the fellowship?

Any input, especially from people who have gone through the process, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
