Hey all; since results of the first round should be arriving in the next month or so, I figured we should have a place to comisserate, whine, and share successes! I'm also interested to hear all your projects!

I do research on sensitive issues (specifically non-mainstream and alternative religious and gender/sexuality identities), and have gone through IRB twice. The process depends on your university, and the issue came up in my preliminary Fulbright interview. If your project uses human subjects (most Fulbright research grants do), I was told that it helps the application in you have IRB approval before you apply. But again, so much of this is the opinion and viewpoints of my campus advisor...

I agree. But we should know about his recommendations in the next few weeks. NSF has a ridiculously complicated procedure. Even if a propsal is recommended, it may not get funded in the end. But we should know something soon...

I sent an email to DR. Mantz, and was told recommendations are announcements are quite delayed, due to the government shut down. He said we should have comments and reviews no later than early march. He also mentioned that the next target date for cultural anthro may be moved to july...so keep that in mind for resubmissions!

Still waiting to hear; I also applied for anthro...not sure if it's a good sign or bad that I haven't heard yet...

I've been following anonymously for a while...stressing along with the rest of you. Counting down the days until we actually know something!
