Hey Trina,

I was reading some fb posts this morning about people who have not signed the GA yet. In the comments there were a few comments mentioning the fact that the 14th of June might not be a strict date and that there may some delays. We might need to wait a bit longer I guess.

Hey Trina,

Thank you so much for your answer, gigi-7! Yeah, there are a few people here as well who haven't received the GA to be signed yet.
I do not understand what "technical issue" may cause this, or why they didn't solve it already, but, hey, waiting and guessing has become a normal part of our lives.
Thanks again!

From a UKRO webinar yesterday:

"The guarantee covers all eligible, current applications to calls
where grant agreements are expected to be signed before 31 December 2022
❖ Includes the 2021 MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship call"

Guys, I was creeping through last year's thread on the reserve list topic and here are a few things that may be of interest both to those on the reserve list and those who didn't sign the GA yet:

- the deadline for the signing of the GAs last year was May 9th
- however, there was a delay then as well
- on May 17th someone said that their NCP mentioned that they still did not know when the process would be finalized
- only at the middle of June some people from the reserve list wrote that they received the invitation to prepare the grant agreement

Now, this year, given the whole UK situation, things may be a bit different for those on the reserve list, but, again, we just don't know...

Hi guys!
First of all, thank you for sharing this Trina!
To be honest, I think that it will still take some time (in July??) till we hear something back. They are moving slow, with delays on top of delays....
Just a bit more patience

I am not sure if the ~360 projects updated on the “Funded Projects List” on the Portal page are representative of the projects that have been signed already. If so, there is still a loooooong way to go to

Hey, gigi-7! Where did you find that list? I could only find the list for Horizon 2020.
That being said, there is still the possibility that once they send out the rejection letters to the candidates with UK hosts (they mentioned in the letter that it will happen "shortly"), they will also start contacting people on the reserve list to replace them.
So maybe that does not depend on the finalization of the signing process.

This fellowship is a joke... imagine these funny things that happened in the most prestigious fellowship.. Unpleasant experience!!!
