  1. Honorable Mention! G/VG VG/VG E/E. For Life Sciences-Neuroscience. Reviewer one did not understand my technique at all which is baffling because it's a fairly well known technique. He asked me to clarify how I would control for something that is already controlled for within the technique sooo...

    But I am so stoked! I got HM for both Ford and GRFP. I am lucky enough to be in a lab with ample funding. For me this was about the fact that I had given up a fellowship at another "more science-y/slightly more prestigious program" to attend my current school for the vibes. I made the right decision 100%. I was hoping to get the award because it would have gotten rid of any regret I was holding on to.

    Oh well!

    I did! I am going to be studying invertebrate vision and neurobiology @ University of Tulsa next year! Small school but the PI was an awesome fit for me : ) Wbu? Also, other lurkers (lol) feel free to shout out ur research and such if it helps relieve anxiety : ) 

    Oh nice, I am in neuroscience too. 2nd year PhD student. I am not optimistic whatsoever about the GRFP, Offer or HM. I just got an Honorable Mention from the Ford Foundation, so my hopes for a GRFP HM are a little higher than 0%. I am going on spring vacation soon and I just want to get the results before then.

    Oh swell, just finished my undergraduate thesis! Now I am deciding between a nap or looking up more GRFP stats from previous years ?

    Congratulations! Did you apply this season/Do you know where you're going yet?

  4. I just got my results for pre-doctoral fellowship. I got an Honorable Mention!!!! I'm a second year grad student with no publications, and average undergrad grades(3.5). Plus while I do go to an Ivy, it isn't Stanford/MIT/Harvard/Columbia/Princeton/Yale, so I knew I wouldn't get the award. But I do a lot of academic outreach, especially geared towards minorities, that I figured I had a good shot at Honorable Mention. Still in shock that I actually got it!

  5. Can someone please explain to me what the GEM fellowship actually is? I am a second year PhD student at Brown University and I am thinking of applying but I can't even tell if I am eligible because of the wording. Brown is listed as one of the member universities. But currently my tuition/stipend is coming from my PI. Am I eligible even though I am now a second year? Would Brown start paying my tuition/stipend instead of my PI or would GEM pay? Where would I do the summer internship, at Brown?

    Also, is anyone having a hard time getting past the contract initials page of the application?

    such confusion :/
