Applicants without invitation letters apply anyway and face automatic rejection. Double-check your eligibility status before starting. Proposals that lack clear technical assistance delivery models fail to convince reviewers of implementation feasibility. Weak outcome metrics and no connection to real courts make applications uncompetitive.
