  1. E/E, E/E, VG/VG for an HM in Archaeology. My reviews were all really great; however, reviewer three thought I needed to express how my research broadly impacts non-academic communities. I kinda figured that may be an issue... I'm slightly bummed about not getting the funding as this was my last year of eligibility, but c'est la vie! Now, time to start prepping for the DDRIG Congrats to all who received the award! It's such an amazing accomplishment!!!
  2. This is just how it was explained to me; I also would hope that proposals are looked at much more closely. However, consider having a panel of experts in your field having to read through every single submission. It seems like they would have a system to lessen the workload. I don't think this is much different than college admissions...
  3. I spoke with a professor who sat on a NSF panel two years ago. The way it was explained to me is that your app is sent out to various researchers in your field (generally 3-4 people). They read it and say to consider it or not. If it passes the initial read, it is sent to a panel of judges in your field. 2-3 of the panelists are in charge of being experts on your proposal. They explain your research, background, etc. to the others on the panel (some are in charge of skimming your projects, some will not read it at all). The panel will then discuss each proposal and recommends a certain number for funding. I have one professor who is sitting on the Ford panel, and she leaves next week to review. I'd imagine the NSF reviews happen around the same time. The panel process takes about 1 week to complete. The waiting is just awful!
