Usually yes but last year it didn’t come until like a week after results were out

they have never sent feedback in previous years

For people who have a status update, did the last updated date change? Mine says not selected but the date is still 3/26

Mine says not selected too

I think (I hope) it's gonna be today or Friday

I emailed in the second week of March and they said "Late March to Early April"

Guessing nobody heard anything today?

I’m running out of hope that it’s coming today 😭

My research only fit well with the AFRL BAA. Also the application says you can only pick one but then has "applies to multiple agencies" which has always confused me.

I’m in my second year of my PhD. This is the 3rd time I’ve applied for NDSEG lol

I received a 3/26 update today. AFOSR Materials

Only a handful of people have had many updates. For me, I have the 3/18 update still and I had no other updates in March (I have been checking every day).

Yeah I have been thinking this was strange, could be selection bias though. 150-200 people get awards every year and 20 people have posted that they got March updates. If we assume everyone who gets march updates gets selected that is 10 - 13% of the awards going to people posting here. This is assuming everyone who gets a March update gets selected.

Hoping for Wednesday. I am tired of waiting 😭 maybe someone should volunteer as tribute and call the NDSEG office and ask. I emailed last week and they said “Late March - Early April” but maybe we could get an actual date with a phone call

I went through some of the old forums and gathered up all of the dates and the award status, and I added the info from this years forum too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jf03CCUcmJlMTYI1or4oosnsb9PS1GBZelkww2snsVE/edit?usp=sharing
