Hi all and congratulations,

I also received link to grant preparation agreement, I assume this means I'm funded, correct? I had score of 94 in EF-LIF panel.

Hi All,
I've been following this discussion from the sidelines since I'm on the reserve list for the GF-ENV. I had a monster score (95%) that would have gotten me the grant in any other category, or in my panel in any other year, so quite unlucky there. It was my first and final submission, because i become ineligible next year.

My NCP shared the following:

As of last week ALL UK based grants have become ineligible (they have the UKRI guarantee). These grants and associated budgets are returned to the either the IF or the GF total budgets. The funds are redistributed across the panels such that overall success rates are roughly similar. This means that its not directly given back to the panel. For example: I know I was nr. 4 on the ranking of the reserve list, and although I know there are 3 UK proposals in front of me with higher rankings, that does not mean i will be nr. 1 on the reserve list as of now.

People on the reserve list will be contacted soon (whatever soon means in European bureaucracy).

So yes: sit tight, nothing really changes, but at least you know how it works.

p.s. I was under the impression that the Global panels had higher success rates than the European ones but as of 2021, the budget has been reduced by 37%, which is way more than the reduction in budget due to Brexit. Now the success rates are more similar to the IF panels. This still doesn't explain though, why the cutoff scores are insanely high in the GF panels.

Dear all, I got the invitation as well!

I ranked 2nd on the EF-LIF panel with a score of 94.4 (which is the cut-off score). Thank you all (particularly @trina_80) for the regular updates and kind words, which are critically important during the long and tough waiting time!

I believe many of you will get notified shortly!

With a quick question, does anyone know what is the latest start time that we can start the project? Thank you!

Dear Qube, did you get an invitation finally? I am also GF-ENV, 7th on the reserve list...

I am also a resevre list candidate in GF-ENV with a 95 scored. Did you receive the email yet? I didn't receive anything yet. Have somebody from our panel or another GF panel received the email yet?
