Sorry, I am on the East coast. 9:17am PST, 12:17pmEST

Sorry, mine was 12:17pm, EST so the same time as mlg

I got my at 12:17pm.

I got an email too! 1) Fellowship 2) Philippines, Tagalog 3) Very detailed budget - line by line description of 5 categories: foreign travel (not just flight, but visa etc), materials and supplies, consultant services (e.g. transcription of interviews and tutoring), other (compensation of meals for interviewees), and books

Thanks Stephanie and Riverguide!

Riverguide or anyone else lurking from last year - do you remember how long it was between the survey and the "updating the budget" email? Thanks!

I got the general survey too. Did everyone?

It might happen but I remember my year (2008-2009 academic year) the website went down for maintanence multiple times before it was the "one" for releasing the results.

Although I'm only a fourth year grad student, I have to say this is exactly what academia is like! Getting journal rejection after journal rejection can be heartbreaking (I cried the first time! lol) but this is the field I chose so I just need to build a thicker skin Edited because "and" is not the same as "after"

This is something you need to to ask your advisor about.

I wonder if they send it out on a rolling basis, rather than all at once, since many said "late" March in last year's thread but I also specifically remember someone saying they got it on March 18

You can update: Philippines, year 2006-2007, notified 4/17/2006

True, but I wonder how the national security element is played into it since my project is very relevant to national security (or so says my dod husband who urged me to apply!)...I guess we'll see soon!

I'm in a similar position. I applied for 6 months of funded research but I'll actually be spending 3 months there beforehand, so I hoped that would be taken into account

Huh. I could have sworn when I read materials they said 12 week minimum up to one year, with a preference for those trips that are longer in comparison (which I had read as in longer than the minimum not necessarily one year). Thanks Kbui!

So I know we have a week or two more until we hear about who got the follow up email. Thought I'd ask your advice. How flexible do you think the Boren is in terms of sizing down the grant? I applied for funding for a 6 month grant but I recently learned I'm preggers (yay!) so will only be able to use three months of funding since I'm leaving soon (my proposal was multiple trips to a country)

Thanks! It looks like my review panel already met since it says Status: Pending and Status Date: 02/13/2012

Wait, but didn't some candidates already receive snail mail?

Bumping this thread up to see if anyone knew when any of the review panels meet. I realize it'll be a few months until we get a decision (the website says within six months) but wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the panel meetings! (ps I applied for the law and social sciences one since they cancelled the sociology application for this cycle)

Do you have an offer? I think that you don't need to worry unless you receive a job offer before the Fulbright decision is made. If you do, they usually give you a few days or so to make a decision and you can ask for an extension to make the decision if need be.

Hi everyone. I'm hanging around as a grad student waiting to hear from the NSF DDIG and Boren but I thought I'd stop by this thread to offer myself as a resource. I was a 2006-2007 Fulbright Scholar, straight out of undergrad. If you have any questions (once you receive notification or beforehand) feel free to email me at snowblossom2 AT yahoo.com

lol, I have a difficult time reading humor on boards sometimes

Thanks Pinkie, and no problem. Didn't mean to cause more stress (if indeed, I did), but I remember being upset about the rejection and any little bit of knowledge about my standing helped (e.g. the millisecond before you open your email may not be very significant but it may also prepare you for the rejection). I'm waiting for the Boren, and know from those forums, that if I don't receive the "update" email in mid-March I probably didn't receive the award. Information sharing - that's what these forums are about!

So I don't know if this will help anyone but I was looking through my NSF stuff. I applied in 2008, was rejected. Re-applied in 2009, and received one. The email titles are different. One is "2009 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Awardee Notification" while the other was "2008 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Notification" Not sure if this isn't just a change in notification but it could be a signal, when you do receive news, about the outcome even before you open your email. Good luck to all!

It must be a discipline specific thing
