Hello Nasrin and everyone,
It is sad that we got a reject but we passed the threshold and we got many good comments
as well!
The call is competitive (1055 submissions) and I think it would have been a miracle to be
accepted in our first try regardless our hard work. It was really nice to work with you
the first time, I would be happy to continue the work and improve the proposal based on
the comments.
Best,
Vaso

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

Asunto: [DIVERSE] Re: [EXTERNAL] Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application
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
