Dear Nasrine, dear all,

Thank you for the information. It has been a pity to receive this news. However, as most colleagues have commented, the proposal has received very positive feedback.  Getting a 5 for implementation is a clear example of the good work done. In addition, these comments allow us to identify areas for improvement. 

Thank you very much for your efforts 
Best regards,
Octavio

Dear Nasrine,

Thank you for sending this on and I am sorry that it is not more positive news in this instance. I think that, given the very competitive nature of the call, this is an excellent result achieved under some time pressure.  Thank you very much for all of your work on it.

If you were willing to take on the job of leading a resubmission then, I for one, would be very happy to be involved.  I think that I could do some work on the career element section of it that might strengthen that,

Best wishes,

Nicola

Dear all,

 

As many of you would have seen, we have a decision about our application, but unfortunately not the positive outcome that we had hoped for.

 

I attach both the Decision and the Evaluation Summary Report documents. There are a mix of comments, with the best score awarded to the implementation criteria.  

 

With 920 applications sent to the same call (see below) I had actually anticipated a high risk for rejection, but I had hoped for a higher score. Still, it is encouraging that we have received some very positive comments. Very interested to hear about your thoughts about any potential next steps, should we improve and resubmit, or not? What do you think?

 

Regardless, for me the idea was great and timely, I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with you, and we have formed a wonderful consortium. I also like to add that I personally learned a lot through this process, Thank You Everyone! and specially Nicola and Tara for generously sharing your knowledge and experiences about MSCA applications with us.

 

Best regards,

 

Nasrine
