I remember seeing an article on the value of failed grant applications, but I seem to have dawdled my note away. Does perhaps some expert here remember that article? @JulianHamann1 @jelena3121 perhaps?

The only recent paper on grant rejections that I remember off the top of my head is one on grieving grant rejections. But that doesn't seem to be the one you're looking for.

@JulianHamann1

That’s quite different from what I remember, but I’m pretty sure that this is still the paper I was looking for. 😀

Thanks a lot.

I am interested in it from the perspective of scientific support services. My impression is that while rejection is the norm, there is no systematic discussion on how to guide though a rejection process.

@perspektivbrocken @jelena3121
I guess I'd share your intuition about scientific support services not offering any guidance after rejections. Which is remarkable, because the normalization of "failure" in science is receiving some attention currently.

@JulianHamann1

Well, I will definitely stay on this topic. In case you stumble over something along these lines, please tip me off.
