2017 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2017)

Given the vague summary report, has anyone asked for the full reviews of their proposal so that they may actually improve their application? It seems they should have these somewhere and they might actually be more illuminating than the cut-and-paste responses we received.

Nope, these generic copy/paste comments is all we get...

Oh my, according to this the cutoff in ST-LIF is 93, and I got 92.8

But you are on the reserve list, right?

Yes, but I don't have any hopes regarding that. I doubt more than a few will decline, and there are likely others with a score of 92.9 ....

I was rejected at 15:30. Didn't see the report - the portal collapsed. Will update you about the score. Did you receive the answer?

Yes, I´ve managed to dowload The Evaluation Report and Invitation Letter (addressed to my Supervisor). Sorry to hear you´ve been rejected.

So you got it, yes?

Yes 96% in the lottery. It seems that if they like the proposal, they fit the comments to the final score. That´s why the 1st page and abstract are important. A nice heading (in bold) is also recommended

Don't lose hope...according to the cut-score there are 49 proposal scored between 92 y 93 in ST-LIF...you are on the top Of the list and your proposal can still be funded eventually. But you'll need to wait at least until May. Good luck.

Are there any statistics about the reserve list from previous years? Any idea of how many proposals are pulled out from the reserve list?

[jezza]

As far as I know 1 max 2 proposals per panel from the reserve list could be funded for the GF modality and around 5-15 proposals (depending on the panel) for ST...but these are numbers I got from FP7 when all the process related to the reserve list was much more transparent and reserve lists were updated and available online. Don't know why with H2020 thing became so secretive.

I got it! 91.4 SOC Standard
Second time. First with a different host and proposal: 98.2
Looks like cut threshold this year was a bit lower
I went ranked on 24th
id 795xxx
Learning: having got a great feedback the first time has been crucial. Then, try to follow the feedback and share draft with as many people as possible before submitting
Good luck for all

How can I learn my ranking?

Thanks! Yes, H2020 is really secretive regarding the reserve list...
