Sorry to hear that Dreamer! For what it's worth, the fact the same project dropped 20 points from last year just goes to show that the evaluation is a complete lottery and in many ways a bit of a nonsense It in no way reflects on you as a researcher

Amen, brother/sister. It is indeed a lottery. It'd be easier to take it more lightly if there were more jobs around

I am really sorry dreamer! It is not a reflection on you as a scholar though... always remember that! A big Hug

Now there is a clarification which is required yesterday on this forum some body wrote a big post on how in resubmission there is a big sanity check when the score is below last call and they do all kind of analysis, now an experienced researcher has a 20 pt drop and fell below threshold so means that scoring is not consistent?

totally. I got three projects scored with the highest grades and still didn't get funded because of budget cuts. (Not Marie Curie, national calls)

So sorry Dreamer. In general EC grant proposals have been losing credibility lately and it is evident with resubmissions. The quality of the reviewers should definitely be reassessed. This was also a comment my boss had when he was in a reviewing panel for EC grants and found the rest of the panel unprepared and not relative to the subject they were reviewing

It's been months, we are waiting for this result
Going insane with our anxiety,
Why EC does not declare the result at the same time, if not before sending it to NCPs

all the best Dreamer! that must sting to drop so much, a lot of us will be in the same boat as you soon, don't let it make you question your skills, im sure you're an excellent researcher!
