[The NSF GROW - what to expect and when to expect it?]

Do you know how the travel allowance is handled ($5000)? Do we have to go through painful reimbursement processes for research/travel etc.?

Rick e-mailed me, too! Here I come!

[The NSF GROW - what to expect and when to expect it?]

I assume everyone got the e-mail regarding "Status of Your GROW Application." I really want the official word from the NSF so I can plan for my new journey!

Husky, I wouldn't worry. Each partner organization operates on a different timeline. My country is the Netherlands. Also, I think Norway tends to accept almost everyone!

 

That gives me hope.

I haven't gotten any e-mail from NSF yet. Fastlane still says "Awaiting NSF Approval." I hope this changes soon! I want an official letter!

I just got an e-mail from my host institution that I was selected as a GROW recipient. They still need to get the final approval from the NSF. Then, I will get an official e-mail from them. Good luck, everyone!

The wait is getting a bit ridiculous...

[The NSF GROW - what to expect and when to expect it?]

Husky, you're correct on that it's related to declaring your annual status. I've done it recently and received the same e-mail!

 

I was thinking the same thing about Sunday/Monday.  I got what may be just a false alarm earlier this week. I got an email from NSF with "NSF GRFP Admin Approved Change Request" in the subject line. I still have no idea why they sent that. Maybe it's related to declaring my annual status which I've done recently.  I don't even want to ask.     

 

Still waiting...

[The NSF GROW - what to expect and when to expect it?]

They might announce it on Monday given the scheduled maintenance on Sunday...

[The NSF GROW - what to expect and when to expect it?]

Nope... It is taking forever... I feel really sorry for those who are planning on leaving in June! The Dear Colleague letter actually states that April-May is the time window for acceptance notifications, so we can't really complain at the moment
