THE TIME IS UPON US

"We liked you, but not as much as other people, so here is some money as a consolation prize".

To be fair, this is only the ACM$ module that would be unavailable.

So what you're saying is I need to be hitting refresh on the GRFP page all night and not wait for an email?

Yeah the difference in time here would seem to indicate a release. Because they broke the Tuesday-Friday pattern last year, I would make the assumption that they wouldn't necessarily hold onto it this year either.

I am

Yes this is a possibility as well. Who wants to join the webinar and ask when the current year's results will come out??

My guess is, given the info sessions that are starting on the 31st, it would be reasonable to have the results out before then. That would make Thursday night/Friday morning a reasonable target.

Yeah, the maintenance banner would've most likely come this morning, however, the latest it has historically appeared has been 3:30 PM (2019).

Historically, 9-9:30 AM is usually when maintenance will be announced on Monday for a Tuesday release. The latest it has shown up on Monday was 3:30. We should be on the lookout for that today.

My hypothesis is that they were planning on releasing it, but then, after browsing these forums, realized that they need to stick to the Tuesday-Friday pattern. It's science.

Technically we are PhD's so we are supposed to have Sherlock-like tendencies. Maybe it is all part of the master plan.🥸

YES THIS IS IT LADS

Yeah my biggest issue was remembering the GRFP exists. I was so much at ease before then!

Odd, I was able to log in.

To be fair, the GRFP banner did not come until at least 9AM of the day of (April 3rd last year). Therefore, it would not be abnormal for this banner to not be there just yet.

BIG IF TRUE Can someone who is actually smart verify this for me?

It is entirely possible. I'd more so predict late(very late) Friday night. Maybe this could mean this is not the dreaded maintenance before results release, but I'm not sure it's not like I have a PhD (yet)

Due to scheduled maintenance, Research.gov will be unavailable Friday, March 24th from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM ET on Saturday, March 25th. HEAR YE HEAR YE THE TIME IS UPON US

It might be, there was some maintenance windows like that preceding the announcement.

Yeah giving an entire month-long window for the release of the results isn't the most fun

Indeed it shall Yeah, just posting an ominous "busy" on your calendar without a description doesn't really help anxious grad students.

Alas, this news harkens the light within my shrouded soul! Anyone know the history of when the sign in is closed vs. results release?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LaF7o1oBPHAbVkxuHtAH7MeGDs7qsc_xZoB-Kijn4II/edit#gid=0 Reposting this in here because it would seem that the maintenance would certainly be a positive indicator for results to be released soon. Oddly enough though, it would seem that results are released during the "maintenance window", which does not bode well.
