I just got an infamous REJECTION email! Damn!

Sorry to hear. That sucks

I just got the rejection letter for ENV-IF.
My score this year is 87.6% from 91% last year...
Most of the comments are way too general and of course it's obvious that the reviewers are different from previous years.
The whole thing is a huge lottery. It's like submitting your manuscript to a journal and the reviewers change between the different revision cycles.
It's a pity that on decent funding scheme like this, luck plays so huge role!
Congrats to everyone that was successful.

I´m sorry to hear it, hope it doesnt discourage you from doing your job. Did you get the evaluation report?

Damn! Cheers buddy! so people are starting to get final emails!

2 rejected so far. 0 accepted/reserve list. Most of the people is sleeping... Still nothing in my mailbox or FO...

Three rejections! I just got mine: 89%
Was ranking since jan 12th and st-lif

I was sleeping and started to feel strongly during sleep that something is happening, woke up with strong, anxious and unstable breath pattern. Though nothing in my mail box yet.

Sorry to hear that, I am sure you will take the gained experience as a useful asset to bag the other opportunities in future.

I´m sorry to hear that. We´re in the same panel (ST-LIF). 89% and rejection suck and it clearly means that the policy of evaluation needs to be urgently changed to NIH-like one.
