Read article →Questions researchers often ask
What should be reviewed first in an MSCA proposal?
Start with the evaluation logic: scientific objectives, methodology, researcher-host complementarity, training, impact and implementation. Language polishing should come after the structural argument is coherent and evidence-based.
How can proposal review improve evaluation readiness?
A useful review checks whether every important claim is supported, whether the sections are internally consistent, and whether the evaluator can quickly identify excellence, impact and implementation quality.
Can a proposal be reused after an unsuccessful call?
Yes. The research concept, methodology, work packages and impact logic can support resubmission, alternative grants, publications, industry collaboration or a longer research programme.
