From reading previous years' threads on here and other forums. It appears that the Ford Foundation takes 2-3 days to notify applicants, with the first round occurring on a Thursday or Friday and the remainder early the next week. Since the program said notification of awards would take place in March, many were hopeful it would follow the same pattern as last year with notifications beginning on 3/21/2014, which is the earliest that they've notified applicants. However, someone called the NRC office last week and posted on the academic jobs wiki saying that announcements would "probably be made by early April." So who knows.
