Is anyone going through the GAP process now? Did you fill in the GAP (workpackages etc) data or did the university do this for you? The admin department is telling me that at the moment I can't do anything but then in the GAP data there's very specific things to the grant that I can actually modify. Did you all add these descriptions of workpackages & effort etc yourselves?

getting a bit nervous as this was due like a week ago and the university seems to be in no hurry!
Hi! I'm going through it right now. I can totally relate, my institute is also super chill about it and it makes me crazy. If you go to the funding and tenders portal and sign in, you will see "my projects" on the left side. Click on it, and then click on actions. The first thing to do is click on manage consortium and edit roles so you can add your institution as coordinator, and whoever your institute says from administration as the coordinator contact. The project legal signatory should be the legal representative of your institute (they should tell you who it is).
Then go back to your project, actions, manage project. In the process communications, you have a message from the project officer, if you open it, on the top right there is an icon of an attachment. Download the attachment and you will find the instructions on how to fill the Grant Agreement. You can fill the start date, and in the instructions document it tells you what to put on the deliverables and milestones (they are admin things, not your scientific stuff). Besides that, your institute should also fill the beneficiaries tab saying who is the project representative (the legal signatory) and the bank account.
Thanks so much, this is all really great info and I'm also kind of happy to hear my institute is not the only one who's not worried about these two & three week deadlines that they give.

Hi all! I submitted my GA about three weeks ago and since then the progress bar is stuck in "preparation (50% completed)". How long did it take for others to reach the next step? Starting to get a bit anxious I guess...

Thank you!

Hello. Same situation. I submitted GA, March 21, after being invited from the reserve list. I'm still waiting for the signed GA by the EC. Furthermore, I checked the portal today and found out that I received a Seal of Excellence. My question is does everyone above the 85% threshold receive an SoE even if you get funded? It concerned me since the SoE is given for those who did not get funding as per its description.

Hi all,

What is the current situation with grant preparation for the successful MSCA with UK host? :roll:
Does anyone know how long it takes to re-issue grant under the UKRI scheme?
Hi. I’m also waiting grant approval from UKRI since 11th March that university re-issued the proposal to JeS system. When I asked before they said it will take around 7weeks for examination… I worry it’s consuming too long time cause after this I have to prepare visa that take 1-2months…
If there are somebody under UK host and are suffering similar situation, please share with us🥹

Has anyone had to delay the start of their fellowship due to their host institution taking a long time to prepare a contract? I was awarded the fellowship off the reserve list so I was notified in mid March. My administrative contact from my host institution told me that the earliest possible start date was July 1st (which was already later than I wanted) and I opted for that start date because I want to attend an international conference in July using travel funds from my MSCA. However, I was just notified that my institution cannot possibly make a contract by July 1st and the start date has to be September 1st which means I don't have funding for the conference. If anyone has experienced a similar issue, I would love to hear about it. It it a tricky situation because you can't communicate with the EU commission through the portal without the administrative people from your host institution seeing the messages.

I am in exactly the same situation. Resubmission on Je-S since March 11th. Current status is "In Progress" with additional info as "Awaiting examination".
It will be 7 weeks by next Monday. Some have said it may take a little over 7 weeks. I guess we have to wait till then.

OMG. So nice to meet you in the same situation. Even now, the status on JeS system didn't change... I sent message to JeS helpdesk 3 times more after I get first answer from them, but still couldn't get any response yet.. The university staff is not giving me any response regarding this too. As you said, there's nothing we can do without just waiting.

Hi. Where did the information about 7 weeks come from? Is it officially stated somewhere?
You can deal with visa issues now. The MSCA fellowship allows you to apply for a global talent visa.And this process is not related to the exam into JeS system.

I am in the same situation. I submitted my application into JeS on April 3.

I directly asked to JeSHelp(UKRI) and they gave me information about 7 weeks. Also, the university staff said I cannot apply for visa unless they get grant confirmation from UKRI.
