March?! To be honest, I understand why there is a delay but this is ridiculous. An August submission being returned in early March is preposterous.

No, I have no knowledge of anyone else (I'm currently in the field). But I'm just hazarding a guess that they want to disburse the funds that they have by now.

I'm guessing for us anthro folks if we haven't heard by now, it's probably a rejection.

So, if we don't hear by Jan. 15, can we still resubmit? I would think not, since we don't have any feedback from which to work (unless of course the project has changed in some significant way). It's kind of frustrating that they don't at least update us with the new external peer review date.

Anyone know how the government shutdown affected the panel review? When will we hear back? Any idea of whether or not it will be before the Jan. 15 deadline?

Welp, just got the rejection around 8:45am this morning. good luck to everyone!

Nothing on this end. I wish they would let us know so that those of us resubmitting can get to it.

Has anyone who applied the past May 1st deadline and made it to the second round heard anything?

I also just got a rejection from Mantz today- not competitive. But a friend just got a tentative acceptance- "high in the rankings", whatever that means. Good luck all!

My status is also the same and the external peer review also started March 21. Fellow applicants in my cohort also haven't heard back. I don't think I'm getting it, so I'm not sure what's taking so long to send rejections. Perhaps the feedback needs to be uploaded?

Congrats!

Well, back to pending status again!

Yes, this happened to me as well. I'm assuming the same thing.

Strange, I didn't have a number after the president's comments. But I also didn't get past the initial 50% so perhaps they thought my proposal didn't even warrant a ranking. The reviewer's comments were pretty sloppy as well- lots of grammatical errors and calling me "he" when I made clear I was a "she" in my proposal, etc.

Where are you all seeing the number? I don't see that in the reviewers' comments.
