Rejected! Score 58.
I don't even bother looking at the comments.
I can't digest the fact that it went from 84 to 92.6 to 58

You should try a redress.

I am done applying for MSCA. Very tired. This was my last attempt and I didnt get it. Wont apply again. I am damn tired of this uncertainty

I don't get any results, including the email and website, I don't know the reason. My number is 101066635.

Indeed especially when it comes to social sciences: everything that’s not traditional blah blah blah (done million times ) type of research is penalized for innovation. What’s the point for social relevance then? This is the reason why MSCA should be different than the regular grants… pfff…

The only thing that hurts Is that they said I was not productive enough for my career stage but nothing weak in the proposal. Pandemic is forgotten.

Anyway got to move on - probably the sign I need to move out of academia.

Good luck for the ones that don't know the result yet. Congratulations for those of who got the grant. And stay strong for the rejected ones.

One of my colleagues got a comment that he took a long time to complete his PhD. I did not expect such judgemental comments coming from someone on behalf of the commission. PhD programme varies from country to country. In certain countries they are completely unstructured and researchers go through the entire process of problem definition, experiment design, performing experiments and analysis.

I got my rejection letter,
Landing from last year 94 to this year 77!
Even though, we tackled a lot in the last year's comments of weaknesses! I cannot believe such a huge drop...
Cheers to all those accepted! and for sure I am done with such a poor evaluation strategy of MSCA!

This was my last attempt. A redress won't make any change (a 40 points change?? Insane!).
One tip for those attempting again: Don't base it on your current score and the comments you got.

How can a score fall from 92.6 to 58. Its crazy isnt it?

From the results, we've seen so far, Evaluation vs Ranking does mean something.

Evaluation Summary Report says Threshold: 70/100.00
I guess that is the point that distinguished those who ranked from those who remain in evaluation.
