Conduct horizon scoping and see how to re-market the bid, possibly also through the Development Office. Will not be easy as the topic is very specific, but we can try. If we re-submit, we need more time commitment to hit all the funders' criteria and hot buttons

# data[].attributes.body
For any bid - including this one - it is key to conduct a robust literature review and show how the project fills a gap, brings an intellectual / conceptual contribution to the discipline, and impacts policy/practice. Not all these aspects were covered

# data[].attributes.body
A bid of this nature would have needed more time to get to a level to beat the competition. We need to have enough time to commit to a bid. If a bid is due on Monday, active weekend work is a necessity, if the bid is not finished

Word count needs to be tracked in the interim as well, not only at the end. It must be flagged at a task, with dedicated time

# data[].attributes.body
This is key. Normally one person would be in charge of ensuring all bid parts are eligible, including word count, formatting etc. These roles need to be clarified at bid start.

The project idea itself has originality and potentially fitted the funder's criteria

I felt it may have been easier if we could have spent a few days together finalising the bid. Ideally face to face but it can also be done online.

Following the networks of colleagues built a strong team by finding the right people who wanted to be around the table and brought complementary expertise and perspectives. A collective energy and commitment emerged.

We needed checks and balances when working on the bidding document (as people were only dipping in and out and doing what they could when they could) to keep the bigger picture and the detail of the call requirements in mind

We only failed on word count which we did know about when starting to write and it was on the document but that was not the focus when finalising the lines of argument, clarifying what should be in/out - but was evidently VITAL.
