I work as a medical scribe at a private practice and the doctor I work for was working to enroll our office as a study site for an observational research study. I was planning on assisting with the study, and in my activity description on the primary (as well as some of my secondaries) I wrote that I was assisting with the study because my office was assuming that it would be starting soon.

However, we found out today that we weren't selected as a study site because the company already filled all their spots, but they would reach out to us if any spots opened up. I feel like I screwed myself over because if I get asked about this in an interview, I have to go back on what I stated in my application. I understand that this is my fault and I shouldn't have made assumptions, but is there any way to gracefully tell an interviewer about the situation if it comes up?
