2.33 I had one positive-only review and two good enough reviews that also pointed out methodologial shortcomings and suggestions for improvement. It was a ressubmition, and last round the first version of my proposal got a 3.67. So definetly reapply if this was your first try.

I haven't received an email, but I checked the system and I was accepted! Can I rely on that, you think?

Mine was edited twice yesterday, so I am wainting results to be released today.

Mine has just been updated, like some minutes ago. I imagine they will release the results within the next days or hopefully even hours....

The last review on my application was on 2 April. I imagine they need to debate before making decisions, right?

I really don't have a clue if there were more or less applications submited on this season. I am not pursuing my PhD in an American university, and most students don't seek for international funding, so I can't judge based on my doctorate cohort or anything like that. It really was a struggle to come up with a plan B budget thar matched what I asked for on plan A, for sure! I live close to my research participants, and I will carry out fieldwork in the same country where I live and study. Maybe for this exact reason (and because it is a country where the pandemics is being managed extremely poorly by the government) I am not too confortable carrying out plan A for now. But scenarios move fast, and in February I was able to visit my research participants, but not at all now in March. And I tried digital methods last year, and I simply can't come up with a reseach design that foregoes regular fieldwork, or at least, some visit to local archives.

I also believe the number of applications will be higher, since there was only one deadline for 2020. But I also think that under covid19 evaluation criteria will be different and we cannot guess anything till we get reviews back. I am not sure how they will take into account the Plan A x Plan B we sent in our apps. Because COVID-19 situation is rapidly changing and widely varied in the whole globe... I guess we have to wait.

Hi, is there an actual review for you to see? Mine only says "Recommended for further review". I got this exact sentence last round, when I made it to second round, but was rejected afterwards. I was wondering whether there is a correlation between getting real reviews on Round 1 and getting accepted. Last year my project got very poor grades, but useful reviews after the second round. I assume I made it to Phase 2 as an international applicant to get reviews and impove my applicantion for ressubmition, as WG is clear about its willingness to foster Anthropology worldwide. Thoughts on any of this? Specifically, on the relation between geting reviews on stage 1 and getting funded?
