Yes, my experience too- I've been frozen out of EU applications since 2016 because of the uncertainty, ending an unbroken run of 4 major EU grants over the last 12 yrs (among others). I'm looking to move to an EU institution. I absolutely hate what Brexit has done to the UK. No future here- and this is a common view amongst successful UK based academics.
