Chs13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 E2 rejection over here, good to finally know! Good luck everyone and thanks again for your updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflwr587 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Has anyone heard good news, or are they really sending out rejections before offering awards?They are sending out rejections for those who did not pass the external peer review. The applications still have to go through internal review and be picked by the NCER director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPAQ Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 E3 rejection here. How many reviews are you getting with your feedback? I just got one, but I know in past years it's generally three... Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merpmerpmerp Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Update on the EPA STAR webpage: "2015 STAR Fellows are anticipated to be selected and notified of their award recommendation by late October and receive grant funding by late November."I'm B2 and still have not heard.

doublehelixdoubletrouble Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 bio323 I think for the first round the rejections have ceased, rejection/award notifications for the second round will be late October as merpmerpmerp posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loleroler Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Did anyone else apply to GRFP because they hadn't heard back from this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bio323 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I applied to GRFP also but I'm still holding onto hope for this award. Maybe the EPA will stick to their latest deadline and make final decisions by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekawada Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Agreed, it's ridiculous. There's only one business day left in "late October," but I doubt they'll send them all out tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibia4 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I only just found this forum, but it's a relief that I'm not the only one still biting my nails. Can't tell you how often I'm checking my email. I'm F1, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherBoy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Goddamn GOP always trying to cut the EPA's budget... probably led to the lack of administration that is delaying and limiting the number of these fellowships. http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/247064-epa-head-slams-gop-budget-cuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublehelixdoubletrouble Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Has anyone heard yes or no from the STAR? I remember the 2011 EPA GRO they called my phone rather than an email to notify me. The email came letter as the official acceptance. Maybe they'll do the same for this?

KAnn Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I sent a message to NCER about the timeline for hearing back if you had not yet gotten notification and this is what I received: "Updated announcements will be posted on this site - http://www2.epa.gov/research-fellowshipsWe are about 2-3 weeks behind on what is currently posted.Brandon=========================================================================M.

doublehelixdoubletrouble Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 2015 STAR Fellows are anticipated to be selected and notified of their award recommendation by mid-November and receive grant funding by mid to late December. Newest update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lava_you Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 So does anyone know of anyone who has received funding in the past? I am just curious to know where those of us who have not heard stand. Is it that we have made it to the internal review? Or are they still doing the peer review process? Anyway, best of luck to all those who have not heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
