Hello all, Thank you everyone who has already responded to my doodle. This is just a friendly reminder for the rest of you to also please indicate your availability by the end of tomorrow. Thanks, Nasrine From: Nasrine Olson Sent: Friday, April 12, 2024 11:03 AM To: diverse(a)lists.sunet.se Cc: Karen Nowé Hedvall &lt;karen.nowe_hedvall(a)hb.se&gt; Subject: RE: Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application Dear all, Many thanks for your feedback and positive comments (whether to the list or directly to me). It seems that many of us are in favour of improving and resubmitting the proposal. I suggest that we meet late in May and discuss further steps. To help find a suitable date, please indicated your availability here by end of Wednesday next week (17th): https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/enNZvyYe Many thanks, Nasrine From: Nasrine Olson Sent: Tuesday, April 9, 2024 1:07 PM To: diverse@lists.sunet.se<mailto:diverse@lists.sunet.se> Cc: Karen Nowé Hedvall <karen.nowe_hedvall@hb.se<mailto:karen.nowe_hedvall@hb.se>>; Åsa Söderlind <asa.soderlind@hb.se<mailto:asa.soderlind@hb.se>>; Grants and Innovation Office <gio@hb.se<mailto:gio@hb.se>>; Registrator <registrator@hb.se<mailto:registrator@hb.se>> Subject: Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application 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 Submission statistics Nov 29, 2023 11:57:26 AM A total of 1,066 proposals were submitted in response to this call.
