I got an email and call today, bumped from alternate to accepted! totally incredible. good luck to those that are still holding out hope. I didn't think it was possible this late, but it happened!

Hey gregw-- have you heard anything? If you have, I hope it was good!

I have heard. I am also an alternate. It's pretty amazing, there were very few finalists, and so i imagine even fewer alternates. we may be the only two. good luck buddy.

 

For those interested, they do not tell you in the email what place you are on the list. or if there even is a list, but i assume so.

I know, it's out of our hands though so I'm trying to not think about the sequester. Sucks.

 

Your project sounds awesome. I've read some books about Kiribati and would love to check it out sometime. My project is isolating potential anticancer drug candidates from marine organisms in Fiji. Good luck to you! I hope we both get it.

 

good luck to you too, that sounds like a winner.

I am! Great to hear from someone! I just posted this above but I got into touch with someone who got a grant to this competition back in 2011, he said that he heard that he was an alternate on April 19th and then that he got the grant on June 2nd.

 

I am hoping to hear this week, but trying to stay cautiously optimistic. There is a chance that the sequester will effect us and/or delay when we hear.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what/where is your project?

sweet! i wasn't optimistic there would be anybody on here, i think there are less then 10 of us as finalists.

 

i know what you mean about sequestration, i have a bad feeling we are going to be disproportionately effected.

 

my proposal is for kiribati. it is a photo project looking at the history of the islands through land use. what about you?

hey, any south pacific island nations finalists out there waiting to hear? i know there are very few of us, but i'm hoping to get any info i can about when we might find out. there is very little to no info about past years.
