I agree with you. If an applicant with a host A got <70 last year and would like to resubmit one this year, all he/she needs to do is to find a new host B and then submit one proposal. That's all. The resubmission restriction is for the same applicant and the same host. Changing any one of them cou...

The European Research Executive Agency received 7 044 proposals. By comparison, 8 356 proposals were submitted in 2021 and over 1 200 were eventually selected for funding. From this year, resubmission restrictions apply for applications that received a score below 70% in the previous call. This year...

Hi all, I lurked a bit this forum in the last 2-3 weeks waiting for the results and would like to thank the creators. I didn’t win the grant (3,8/3,8/4,4). I applied for first time and very likely I will not retry, as this year is busier for me. I worked on the proposal quite seriously between mid-...

The number of months and the budget were wron, and the reviewers...

This is outrageous.

- The Gantt chart is broken down to a bi-monthly basis, which affects the assessment of its quality in terms of consistency and accuracy.

Read the weakness of my proposal and it is rejected. Weaknesses: - The measures to enhance the researcher's career prospects are likely to have limited impact as regards professional maturity and independence, beyond already acquired status (Associate Professor stage).

Read the weakness of my proposal and it is rejected. Weaknesses: - The measures to enhance the researcher's career prospects are likely to have limited impact as regards professional maturity and independence, beyond already acquired status (Associate Professor stage). I got a very similar comment.

Last year people were talking about the scores going hugely down with resubmissions.

Sadly, it seems that this year a similar thing is happening.
