I don't know if this info is out officially but I think it was included in what Dreamergirl cut-and-pasted for me in a PM.

Hi guys,

For those who are waiting for your results in the SOC (ST-IF) panel - I just got mine, proposal number 10102xxxxx. I submitted about a day before the deadline.
I won the fellowship, but I already knew that from the DreamTeam and celebrated heavily over the week-end .

For the record, I went from evaluation to ranking in about hour. According to DreamTeam, and I am at the bottom of the awardees' list, in the 200s. On the anecdotal evidence that we have, I support the theory that successful applications with higher scores go into ranking first .

I already shared my story a few (dozens of) pages back, but just a recap - I got this on my 4th time. Scores in the range of 89-92 each time, three SoE, one reserve list (last year). I was not going to re-apply this year but I had an idea of how to improve my proposal in terms of state-of-the-art data management and dissemination and I believe that's what worked in the end (as in, resulted in the couple of extra points that I was missing). The core idea/research design has stayed exactly the same all four times.

My two cents for future applicants. 1. Don't incorporate reviewer comments unless you agree with them. Reviewers change every year and it's not uncommon to see conflicting advice from reviewers. I was absolutely devastated the second time around because I was convinced that revisions on the basis of reviewer feedback would do the job, and the new reviews ignored the revisions and picked on exactly the aspects that were praised the first submission . It's your research and this scheme is for experienced researchers, and you always know better. 2. Those who frame your outcome as a 'failure' - all this means is that you didn't cut the treshold this year around. I passed with 93,60 and I saw someone who has been placed on reserve list with 93 on my panel, so I barely cut it. If you scored high, your proposal is probably brilliant, but there were other equally brilliant applicants who got just a little bit luckier than you. That's all that is and is not a reflection of the quality of your research. Break a leg, everyone!

Hey, where you can find the placement in the ranking of your proposal?

I just got the email and the score provided by DreamerGirl was confirmed, 95.2 Main list RI panel.

Thank you so much guys for your support during these last crazy weeks.

Good luck to everyone in their research

What is your subject?

The RI doesn't have panels but as a Standard European would be SOC panel.

Hi, guys, happy to have wonderful group here! Could I ask is there any restrictions on re-submission for next a few years? I remember that the re-submission is not allowed from 2023??? Many thanks!

Are you sure? I can't believe it.

Now everything dissapeared and the page is not loading anymore, it looks like the system is overloaded, but I was able to download the letter!

Well it is not rocket science obviously you got it if you are going for grant agreement preparation
