Subject: Research Grant Rejection

Dear [Applicant Name],

Thank you for submitting your research grant proposal to the [College/University] Research Foundation. We appreciate the time and effort you put into your application.

After careful review, we regret to inform you that your proposal has been declined. [Reason of 
rejection such as: The applicant pool was very competitive this year], and we were only able to fund a limited number of projects.

We were impressed with your research proposal, and we believe that your project has the potential 
to make a significant contribution to your field. However, we felt that other proposals were slightly 
stronger in terms of their research methodology, timeliness, or potential impact.
We encourage you to continue your research and to submit another proposal in the future. We wish you all the best in your academic career.

Sincerely,
[Name of Grant Reviewer
