[sadiksojib35]

A refusal can be received at any stage of participation in a grant competition. The reasons may be different, for example:

non-targeted project;
Incorrect set of documents;
failed pitch presentation;
failure to comply with grant requirements.
Remember, lack of resources and fear of failure sh kazakhstan telegram database ould not be the reason to abandon a good idea or interesting hypothesis. Didn't get a grant? Don't give up: participation in the competition will one way or another bring your team experience, which will make it easier to win next time. Analyze the situation and think about how to improve your project or pitch.

We received the grant only on the second attempt. The team applied for the grant for the first time in the summer of 2022, but did not pass the project defense stage: they were bombarded with questions about the technical side of the project.

We worked on the mistakes, updated and improved the project, and six months later we applied again. This time, thanks to careful preparation, we successfully defended ourselves, and in October we received a message that the fund supported our application.
