Resubmission
Submitting a revised version of an application that was not funded. Some programmes formally support it and expect a response to prior reviewer comments; others treat every submission as new and limit how many times you may try.
Part of the GrantTrove grant funding glossary — one entry for every field the catalogue stores.
Also called Revised application · Reapplication
In detail
Where a formal route exists, ignoring the prior comments is the fastest way to a second declination — reviewers frequently see both versions.
Where no formal route exists, the practical question is whether the programme has changed since. A resubmission into a shifted priority is a new application in every sense but the writing.
Against a new application
A resubmission answers a prior review; a new application does not. Which one a programme wants is stated in the notice, in prose. Nothing in a record distinguishes a first submission from a later one, because a record describes an opportunity rather than anyone’s history with it.
How GrantTrove stores it
- Records for a repeating programme carry the dates the source published for each round, so the previous round remains readable when the next opens.
- `source_fingerprint` is what recognises a re-posted notice as the same programme rather than a new one, which is how a repeat appears as a repeat.
Common questions
Are resubmissions allowed?
It depends on the programme, and the notice says. Some cap the number of attempts.
Must I address prior comments?
Where a formal resubmission route exists, yes. Reviewers often see the previous round.
Do you know if I applied before?
No. We hold no applications.
