LetsGetThisBread Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Any word on this? Fresh off a final round rejection from SSRC and the wait is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemepris Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Haha same situation here and haven't got much hope for this now. Two of my cohort-mates received rejections yesterday (via their PIs) and their Fastlane status in now 'Declined'. No change on the portal for me, however LetsGetThisBread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetThisBread Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 so brutal. Apparently the proposal review panel is today and tomorrow where they pitch the proposals to the directors. Hopefully no news yet is good news ??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemepris Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 That's the part I don't understand. How can they reject some applications before the review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it’s a multistage review process. First the proposals are reviewed by the independent reviewers, then the high scoring one have to be “pitched” to a higher body for final approval. The ones that don’t make it to that final stage are released once it’s official that they didn’t. It gives them the most time for revisions. lemepris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyBaguette Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Oof, no new information to add, just another nervous waiter here! NSF is my last option for fieldwork funding... WG didn't work out with all of the COVID-related changes I had to make to my project. I had enough time by January though to craft a NSF proposal that I'm really proud of. Trying not to get my hopes up but it's so hard. Solidarity with everyone in this boat. LetsGetThisBread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetThisBread Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 The WG double questions is hard! I'm stressing over it myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrothrowaway Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Has anyone heard anything at all in the last two weeks or so? My proposal is still pending and says last updated on 4/15 (previously it was at 4/7). I'm expecting to lose again, but I really would like to get rid of this feeling of dread.

lemepris Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 No news here and I don't seem to have a 'Last Updated' column either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrothrowaway Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I applied on Research.gov instead of Fastlane so that may be why you don't have that column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetThisBread Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 None here! Actually nothing since January 14th it says. Likely In the next week though? I saw a few posts from last year that were from around 4/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyBaguette Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Same, mine shows no updates since Jan 14th. ? I got my rejection last year on May 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcademiaIsMyToxicLover Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I was wondering if anyone here had heard from the bio application yet? I've looked over past forum posts and seen that some people have received notice starting around now. I'm also not sure what level the pandemic is slowing/has slowed this process down. Also, if anyone has insight on Leakey replies that would be cool too, lol Edited May 5, 2021 by AcademiaIsMyToxicLover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrothrowaway Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Not on the Bio side yet, but I got my rejection from NSF yesterday - might be worth checking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcademiaIsMyToxicLover Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 sorry to hear that anthrothrowaway, I'm expecting a rejection too, it's just the waiting is getting to be a bit nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetThisBread Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Last year it seems like the winners from the cycle heard around the 16th, so I’d forecast this year will be around the same, unfortunately for all of our nerves/ anticipation.

lemepris Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) @BoozyBaguette I got an email about an hour ago as well but it doesn't seem to be unambiguous enough for me take it as an acceptance. It only says "We have had the opportunity to read the proposal and the reviewer and panel comments and recommendations and would like to consider the proposal for a DDRIG award." And then asks for a bunch of things, including 'An Addendum addressing Reviewer Concerns'. Does your email say the same?
