Official word with reviewer comments. Although the Program Officer's recommendations are usually followed his recommendations are reviewed by another committee before the final go-around. But I must submit IRB approval, budget changes, and an abstract (which NSF will edit) re: my project for, I assume, posting on the NSF website. Pending these submissions and the final okay from the committee that follows the Program Officer recommendations, it sounds like a go. At the end of the email, however, my Officer wrote Congrats re: your award. So I feel positive but am still keeping my fingers crossed! And the Program Officer said that I won't received a formal award until 8 weeks from receipt of my materials.
