My proposal (R21 to NIOSH) was scored 28, but is not being funded – anything I can do about that?
Assuming you have another opportunity to resubmit, then that’s really all you can do—read the summary statements carefully, respond to the reviewers and hope you get an even higher score next time. If this was your second submission, then you could check for special RFA’s on your topic and submit a variant of the proposal (not the exact same thing) under those opportunities. They won’t take into account your prior review under a different mechanism, and sometimes RFA’s have ad hoc review panels composed of experts in the narrow subject area of the RFA. Good luck!
