Arvacore Notes
RADIANCE MSCA PF 2026 Handbook: what applicants should use it for
The RADIANCE handbook is a useful companion to the official call documents because it focuses on how applicants should think about proposal preparation.
Arvacore take
Do not treat the handbook as a template to copy. Use it as a review lens: after drafting, compare each proposal subsection against the handbook's practical expectations and ask whether the evaluator can find the evidence quickly.
Suggested review workflow
- 1
Start with the official documents
Draft from the official call and submission template first.
- 2
Challenge the draft
Use the RADIANCE handbook to test clarity and completeness.
- 3
Find the evidence
Check whether claims are evidenced rather than asserted.
- 4
Test the complete story
Check whether training, supervision, impact and implementation form one coherent career-development story.
- 5
Review as an evaluator
Run a final evaluator-style review before submission.
