Hi Shri30,

Thanks for posting your timeline.
I received today a negative response for my application. The feedback was that my track records to date were not strong enough. I am applying for a review.
I would like to get some advice based on your successful experience.
Thanks

hi lulla-demolay,

Sorry to hear that it was a negative response. I hope you get a positive response in the review.
can you please tell if it was a promise or talent category?
How long did it take to receive the response after receiving the URN?

and the last query, had you included any patent and fellowship (international) as I don't have a registered patent or an international fellowship but have 15 international publications (papers).


Thanks and Regards,
and wish you the best for the review.

Hi Lulla-demolay

I am sad to hear that you have received a negative response. I hope the best for your review.
I will be happy to provide you with any help according to my experience, regarding the track record I am not sure what they found missing in your application. In my case, I haven't got any patent but included all my publications and grants. At the same time, I have also included the details of my international collaboration, attendance of meetings, conferences and workshops.
Best of luck.

Kind regards,
Dovyansh

Hi Shri and D_Social

What were the items listed on your checklist generated at the end of your stage 1 application?

Was there a request for 10 items of evidence for your application? Or just 2 items i.e. letter of reference and CV?

Hi D_social,

Have you got two PDF with the rejection email? One is decision and other is detailed feedback. Your answer would be helpful. Thank you.

Wish you all the best for the review.

Hi Gcoast

It would be only two things you need to send by post i.e. reference letter and CV.

hi druk1001,

Sorry, I believe you didn't read the post properly. I have been endorsed by the Royal Academy so why would they send a pdf explaining the rejection? Good luck.

Thanks,

Thank you Shri30.

I was able to find the Caseworker Guidance and confirmed that it was just those two items. I’ve submitted the application and posted the CV and letter.
