This decision-making period is taking way too long. I mean, the review results were due in early December. Taking two more months to compile the list is just absurd. But even more than that: unless the commission itself interferes in the scores, the final results were available sometime in December when the reviews were submitted; so why not simply inform us of the score? This way we will at least have some idea of what to expect...
So right. I had no choice but prepare 2 other proposals (time-consuming) because i have no idea what outcome will be.

I am currently looking for other opportunities just in case I don’t succeed. Any recommendation for ENG panel proposals? ERC Starting Grant will be apparently announced soon, although I feel it’s quite quite competitive!

An additional aspect that complicates my circumstances is the fact that I am currently in the US. So the outcome of this proposal will determine the course of my decisions in foreseeable future. I don't know, but being at such important crossroad makes it a lot more difficult for me personally to come up with a solid plan B especially in terms of securing an actual job, in case this proposal is rejected (which is the likelier outcome by a significant margin). I just have a loose idea on which path I will pursue after hearing from EC; that is, in case I get funded, I am DEFINITELLY coming back to Europe
If I get rejected, things get a bit murkier

Wouldn't you consider to remain in the US with the government change? I read this today, not sure if this will have real impact though:

Well yes, if I don't get the IF then all cards are on the table. The change of government boosts the morale additionally. However, after living here for several years, even before the pandemic, I found myself lamenting about the days I used to live in Scandinavia. That's the primary reason I decided to write this proposal last summer.

Check Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) - good place, a lot of positions opened from time to time, multidisciplinary collaborations.
