cullenish Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Doesn't seem like there's any way to know when they'll even put the maintenance update notification up either. Last year it went up around 14 hours before the site maintenance, 2017 it went up 30 hours before the site maintenance, and in 2016 it went up about 15 hours before the site maintenance.

jays1519 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Has anyone tried contacting NSF lately? Seems that if it’s going to happen this week, they would know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if they'd tell us. In last year's thread, someone called the day before results went out and got the same "early April" response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyanth Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hey y'all, I was just at a conference with the NSF head of my academic field, and she said that they were implementing a new computer system, so the application processing this year is running almost a month behind. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that they wouldn’t tell us, simply because something could always go wrong on their end to delay it, and they can’t be held to a date for that reason. Overall, still on board that it really should/needs to be announced at the latest, Friday, April 12th. Edited April 2, 2019 by Transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not beyond Friday. If there was a delay due to the government shutdown they would have made an announcement on the webpage about it like the IRS did with the tax extension forms. Unless the government is super unorganized which could also be the case ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryleigh Moore Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think it will happen Early April as stated on the website. "Early April" could mean up to like the 12th I would think. But I wouldn't think it would be any later than that. Transport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said "about", so I'm sure there's leeway with that. Especially since I'm sure they're conscious of the April 15th deadline and how they factor into those decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka49 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 As much torture as this is, I'm glad they are taking the extra time. I've heard people say that the panels were canceled, and other say they weren't. I hope they weren't and I hope the delay in results means that, despite the shutdown, they are taking the reviewing as seriously as they do every other year. I know this might be coming from a place of already-in-school privilege, and I can't imagine what that added stress must be, but as someone who probably put triple digit hours of work into their application, I'm in a way glad they aren't rushing this.
