newenglandgrad Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Oh, I hope so! I just found a perfect conference coming up in the fall and I could really use some of the funding to attend. Any educated guesses on the earliest we may know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_grad Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm eager to hear back just like all of you! I conciser myself a realist when I say I think we'll be lucky if awardees hear by August 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newenglandgrad Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What was the email? The last one I have is the tracking number assignment email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlydoc17 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 There is another one that we are supposed to receive. Â It is in the EPA update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlremix Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I read this on the fellowship page:  "Due to the volume of applications received, the emailed acknowledgement from receipt.application@epa.gov may take several weeks. Thus, our staff will not respond to queries regarding applications received before June 25, 2015. Please make a notation on your calendar to contact the program at 2015FellowshipsRFA@epa.gov from June 25, 2015, to no later than 5:00 PM ET July 9, 2015, for information if you have not received the notification from receipt.application@epa.gov by that time. Failure to follow these instructions may result in your application not being accepted for review. See "Submission Instructions and Other Submission Requirements" for additional information regarding acknowledgment of receipt of submitted applications.

newenglandgrad Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 That is listed underneath the section describing the alternative submissions....not the grants.gov process. I'm not sure that you would get a follow up email from NCER is you applied electronically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_grad Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Did anyone have success emailing 2015FellowshipsRFA@epa.gov? I keep getting a kickback email that says the address doesn't exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbolya1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I sent one a minute ago since I haven't received the final NCER e-mail and it's June 25th... have not yet gotten the kickback e-mail but I just sent my e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbolya1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Yup it was kicked back Edited June 25, 2015 by kbolya1 coffee_grad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_grad Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 HA. Love this. Now maybe you can see why I'm just a tad pessimistic about all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbolya1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah. Bad taste in my mouth now considering what happened to everyone for the 2013 cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beweaver36 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 FWIW... I did email the address provided and didn't get a kickback or email doesn't exist message, I also didn't get a "we received your correspondence email" which tends to be the norm for automated mass addresses like this. Was your guys error message just from mailer daemon or what? Â Its not like some people got emails and others didn't. No one received anything from receipt.application address. This fellowship hasn't been offered for a year, and I think they are still trying to figure out the process going forward and what it will look like. Â Yeah its annoying that they didn't send out the email from NCER and that email address provided doesn't exist, but what can you do? I'd just take a nice big breath and relax. Worrying isn't going to increase your chances. Its the summer time and presumably you all like camping, hiking, and the outdoors. Go for a hike, take a weekend camping trip and don't check your email for a few days. Everything is going to be alright. All the applications will be reviewed, and we will hear back eventually.

kbolya1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Beweaver you seem very informed and I appreciate your help. After putting way too much thought into nsfgrfp I've barely given this acknowledgement the past couple weeks... Just hope we at least find out before the fall semester, as was stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beweaver36 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah we will see. I don't recall that statement about June 25th and the 2015FellowshipsRFA@epa.gov and emailing being up in the original announcement when I was working on this? Does anyone else recall that or was it added later?  I mean I would think the agency would be in a lot of trouble if they didn't review applications that they assigned tracking numbers when the issue is pretty obviously on their end. I guess if its any solace we can say that the work on our end is done and they are obviously are having a hellacious time coordinating this on their end. So some people at the EPA are  probably much more stressed out about this fellowship than we are at the moment.  Take it easy everyone. kbolya1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newenglandgrad Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Like I mentioned before, the instructions saying to contact the program between June 25 and July 9 are underneath the instructions for the alternate submission applications (non-grants.gov). Â Did you not use grants.gov? Â Are you going off of other directions to email them? It's possible I completely missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbolya1 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 You are right, I really thought that section pertained to all applicants. So I guess we are just playing the waiting game for news/notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
