I haven't had an update since 12/2/23...LOL message received I guess. Its a shame we don't get any feedback

no update since 12/2/23 -- oceanography

click on "applicant" in the top right corner, then click on "application". Then your discipline and date of last update should be shown in red

my application hasn't been viewed/edited/reviewed or whatever since 12/2/23. I definitely got more incremental updates/date changes by this point last year. What date are your applications showing?

thanks for letting me know! i noticed after i replied that they updated the FAQ to include that info...a bit late to be doing that. I wish the application process didn't change every year lol

I think im just going to list everything except the list of authors? I agree the redaction thing is ridiculous but it is slightly better than last year since you have the option to submit an unredacted proposal. However, I'm assuming the unredacted version will only ever be seen if your application makes it to the second round of review...which is the biggest hurdle to get past. Are you guys writing a proposal that is based on a hypothetical research budget (that you don't have) or are you writing a proposal that you can realistically complete with money/resources you already have in hand?

the anonymity requirements paired with the lack of research funding and their refusal to come out and say "you dont have to do the research you write about" or to give some guidelines in that area makes it extremely tricky to write something compelling yet feasible. very frustrating but i need money so i will try my best lol

Hi everyone, I noticed no one had started a thread for this years application so i went ahead and did it. I have so many questions and would generally like to hear from people who are applying or have applied. I applied last year and didn't make it past the first round of review and am trying again this year. I would be extremely grateful if anyone who has had success with the NDSEG fellowship would be willing to share their proposal, but if you don't feel comfortable with that I'll still be thankful for any perspectives you can provide! Good luck everyone😀

Congrats! I'm thinking I didn't make it to second round (unless they're not updating them all at the same time). Better luck next year I guess haha

Any ONR applicants get a second round update yet?

I swear I read 40% before but now I'm seeing where it says 30%. The old ndseg website (the sysplus one) says that "approximately 20" applications make it to each panel

another update today - 1/6/23 at 12:48 EST (ONR - oceanography)

i got an update today - 1/3/23 (ONR)

Has getting a december update been a bad sign in past years?

Thanks so much, I was getting worried! I applied to ONR and my last edited date is 11/23/22
