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 (17^th): https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/enNZvyYe

Many thanks,

Nasrine

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
