Hi everyone,

I am reapplying after my unsuccessful first try this year. I got to the interview stage but unfortunately they did not find my methods convincing enough. I already polished the application and I think it significantly improved. Is there anyone who is in the same shoes?

Hi, same here. I got a B evaluation and my main comment was that risks were found to important and were not well mitigated in my proposal. I am still thinking of reapplying and wondering if I really have chances to make it to the A funded list.

Definitely worth a try, you made it to the second phase which is really hard!!

Thanks. I have heard from a senior researcher who had a consolidator and made it to the interview for advanced that they do not want to fund high risk projects anymore as there was a lot of funded project who did not produce enough results.
