WUM cuts me off after the NCN Director's letter — one email that says it all
A single email — the trigger that set off the avalanche. On 11 March 2022, Anetta Pszczołowska, Manager of the Project Support Department at the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM), informs me that, in reply to a letter from the Director of the National Science Centre (NCN), WUM officially distances itself from my actions and will not sign the request for reconsideration to the NAWA Director (Polskie Powroty 2021).
In other words: a single letter from the NCN Director to another university is enough to block my ability to appeal in a grant competition — with no proceedings, no hearing, no due process.

Dear Sir,
From WUM's legal counsel, Mr Wojciech Rajchel, I have been informed that in December last year unsuccessful attempts were made to contact you regarding, among other things, the application for NAWA funding submitted in the Polskie Powroty competition.
In view of the lack of explanations from your side, a reply was sent to the letter of the Director of the National Science Centre, according to which any of your actions from the date of that letter will not be considered actions on behalf of the Medical University of Warsaw.
Accordingly, Vice-Rector Professor Pruszczyk informed me that the Medical University of Warsaw will not sign the request for reconsideration to the NAWA Director.
Z poważaniem / Regards,
Anetta Pszczołowska, MBA

The email documents the moment when a letter from the NCN Director translates directly into a decision by the host institution — cutting off my route to appeal in the NAWA Polskie Powroty 2021 competition.
