MSCA 2023- typos and citations

Post by bobbybb » Fri Dec 01, 2023 11:07 am

How much do you feel typos and wrong citations will impact the evaluation of a project?
I found minor spelling typos and I got wrong the NAME of a professor I cited.

I wouldn't worry much, we're humans. When I evaluate grants this is not something that influences the score I assign. But if the proposal is filled by these typos throughout, it might be perceived as if the prospective fellow did a careless job. In general, it is a good habit to always use the spell-checking function, but this may not work with certain last names. Regardless, as far as I know from past experience both as an applicant and as an evaluator, the EC asks reviewers that such things do not influence the evaluation, as they may be just clerical errors.
I hope this makes you feel better ;)

My successful proposal had a verb missing and a couple of other mistakes. Don't worry.
