MSCA funded from RESERVE LIST

[10000790]

Is there any opportunity for highly ranked MSCA candidates? In some of the European countries, they are offering alternative fellowship. Please, find if there is any similar opportunity in France so that we can give it a try

Hi, how do I know if I am on the reserve list? Should I receive a separate communication to the rejection letter?

If you received a rejection letter it means you are not on the reserve list...I m sorry..

Hi guys!
I open this new topic to collect past experiences on proposals from the reserve list that got the funding at some point. Does anyone have any direct or inderect (but trusted) information on this? Like the position in the reserve list and when you have been contacted.
Thanks

An officemate was on reserve list but got through. He had applied for global fellowship in Physics panel.

Belgium does, not sure about France! Ask your NCP where you are on the list.

Hello!

I would be interested as well to receive such information, as I am just trying to have a realistic idea of what it means to be on the reserve list.
It is my third time applying for MSCA GF, and I am on the reserve list.

To those who have experience or knowledge about the past MSCA proposals,

1) what is the percentage of proposals that get placed on the reserve list? My rough estimate would be 5%, but I might be wrong.

2) and from those on the reserve list what is the percentage on average that eventually receives a positive outcome? Is it more like 10% or 50%?

3) On the EU website I only found information that it can take up to one year to receive the final decision. From your experience, what could be the time frame for receiving the news?

Thank you in advance!

I was on the reserve list for GF in (2015 call where the GF-LIF rose like 3/4 points; ever other year is ~90 but my luck it was 93.8 my year). Anyway got an email that July to start Grant agreement. Was totally alarmed didnt know what it mean etc, you dont get any real communication, just some random automated email to start GAP.

I was 2nd on the list, prob depends panel to panel but for GF you need to be top 1 or 2 otherwise is unlikely. For ST-LIF where there are 1000s applicants maybe top 8-10 is ok.

Thank you for opening this thread and the information all of you are sharing!

Last year, I was in the fifth position of the reserve list for global and I did NOT get funding. This makes totally sense with the information provided by MSCA-IF-RI-LIF-2020. This year, I am in the first position so it seems more likely, but it is still is uncertain!!
