And in specific details what do you say: a table, a chair, some office space, a computer, printer, scanner, pens, paper, and you put your shopping list there to reach sufficient detail ...

Exactly. I can understand if you are in life science like me and let's say you want to do confocal microscopy and the institution has no confocal microscope. But cmon the office space part is just BULLSHIT!!!

Also you need to specify you have access to a toilet. Just in case you need to poo all the amount of bullshit that they might wrote.

Specific details my ass!!

It is really disheartening that an excellent proposal is just not enough...

haha! my paws are crossed too!! The Fellow and I have collaborated very closely and both institutions have poured all their funding expertise into it - scored 91.2% first time, and now this is the 4th time we are submitting so even though it's great and had all the skill in the world poured into it, we still haven't got it, and really don't think we will this time. It really depends on whether the reviewers like the idea and last time we had NO weaknesses on impact, yet scored 4.7 (it scored 5 on previous occasions) - so no rhyme or reason to scoring. I wish everyone the best but be prepared for the REJECT in inbox as it can be very demoralising when you have spent 3 months of the last 4 summers working on it

In my opinion, they will not give us a clear date.
They will say "by 11th of February" as they did last year
