behavioral_ecology Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I found out earlier today that I was awarded a $6,500 fellowship (through my current undergrad university) to conduct original research this summer. It is a project I am planning and budgeting independently. It involves behavioral ecology studies of lemurs in Madagascar. I would be there for 8 weeks. Details aside, I know this sort of thing could only be beneficial to my PhD applications. Is it presumptuous or weird of me to tell the programs about this? If I did so, is it better to email the program coordinator or just upload an updated CV? Or maybe I should tell my POI? Thanks for the advice!

rising_star Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Are you already in contact with your POI? If so, then yes, I'd mention it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishNerd Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Was literally typing a similar comment to the above as it appeared. I think letting your POI know makes total sense but others in the admissions process maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
