Even theoretically agreeing with Maureen, I see a great problem in responding all denied presentations. My proposal was to apply first with a small resume to not expend much time/people in the proposal analysis from both sides. With this, we can have as we do here, a template with the reasons to denied as one with next steps for the accepted, with instructions wil do the task For instance here the DENIED template states some of the reasons: - out of context ( could be out of ICANN mission ) - lack of innovation - existing studies ( solutions etc ) - lack of impact analysis ( demanding as previous justification) After the previous approval people that will make the full proposal with cost, detailed explanations and justifications can be also approved or rejected When not approved the feedback will state, for isntance: - inconsistency between Cost X project - inconsistency between time length X project - inadequate team - better structured similar projects With some templates the feedback is delivered with some information but the time consuming is minimum. Lack of capacitation certainly exist, but the Auction is there to get good results, not a program to capacitate on how to make good projects proposals My 2 cents Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av.

I really do not think it is our job to tell people how to rewrite their proposals so they can reapply. (Will there even be a chance to reapply?) If we want to provide grant writing help, we should make that part of the plan and not confuse it with the grant evaluation.
