There are two possible answers you get from the funder.

Awarded or declined.

Let us start with the decline option.

First of all, you should understand why the answer is negative.

The first possible reason is breaches of the submission procedure.

These are all kinds of technical errors and inconsistencies.

Starting from the wrong size of the proposal to wrong attachments.

In this case, the proposal doesn't go through the review procedure.

And is sent back right away.

You should study requirements more closely and introduce necessary changes.

Another more or less technical reason

is that the funder ran out of money set aside for this competition.

It's quite possible as the number of proposals is growing rapidly.

Whereas, funding is being cut all the time.

And if you send your grant proposal close to the deadline date.

Other proposals that were sent earlier can

win the race just because reviewers had more time to study them.

And were impressed by what they had read.

The conclusion is, don't put off submission until the last moment.

One more reason for the decline is that the funder is not familiar with

your institution or organization yet.

And considers it risky.

It's not your fault.

And the only thing you can do in this case is to address other agencies.

Or look for special programs, such as ones aimed at regional universities.

Or specifically for underfunded organizations.

Besides, you can try to encourage your organization's relations department

to establish connections with a specific foundation.

Anyway, you need to consider reviewer comments and

improve the text for the next submission.

Finally, and in the majority of cases.

Your proposal can be declined, because the idea was not communicated clearly.

Some details are missing.

Or any other drawback identified by the reviewer exists.

In this case, the strategy is the following.

First, you react to the criticisms common to all or the majority of the reviewers.

Then you pass to major remarks of each reviewer.

And after that, you should consider reacting to minor criticisms.

Another approach is to address criticism by its sections.

Especially if reviewers use this way themselves.

The choice is yours.

But make sure the structure of your reply is clear for the reader.

So use subheadings and highlighting.

When you get the decline, don't rush into writing the answer.

Or even worse, calling the funder's office.

Calm down, consider criticism as assistance.

Take a pause, and edit the text.

Use cautious language when responding to criticisms.

Hostility won't bring you anywhere.

So first, you read all the remarks attentively.

You find the main ones.

And it's also possible that the reviewer missed some information.

Because it was given in an inappropriate section or inappropriate way.

Which is the writer's fault, as well.

So, in parallel with editing the text, write the resubmission introduction.

In this introduction, you will list criticisms together with your responses.

And this section is a guide for the reviewer.

As this way, it will be clear for him or her, what exactly was questioned.

And how the principal investigator reacted to the criticisms.

And what additions and alterations were made.

When you compile the final version of the resubmission introduction.

Start with the appreciation to the reviewers, and

compliments you received from them.

For example, you write.

We thank the reviewers for

recognizing our research is a study that may generate knowledge on pyrethroid

resistance that will help important implications on vector control programs.

Our research team is outstanding.

And our proposed methods are appropriate.

We respond here to the issues raised in the summary statement and

by specific reviewers.

Afterwards, you'll list remarks and your responses.

For instance, this way.

You identify the reviewer, a group of reviewers.

Such as The summary and reviewer one.

Then you write the criticism in quotation marks.

For example, the research scope is too large.

And then you answer it.

Three aims are proposed.

And the scopes of which, at first glance, may be seem large for a grant.

However, we are confident we can complete the proposed research on schedule.

And then goes the explanation.

Why and how you are going to do it.

Mention the action you have taken to address the reviewer's criticism.

And where in the narrative he or she can find it mentioned.

For example, in the current proposal,

we specifically discuss our innovations in a separate section.

When the edit work is over, and resubmission introduction is complete.

You can resubmit the proposal.

But remember, the more proposals you write, the more declines you receive.

And let it not discourage you.

But incite you with enthusiasm and determination that will be rewarded.
