fauna876 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Kicking off this thread for this years round. Good luck everyone! First question: For those who have applied before, do you know if Ford will take any recent updates on awards? I recently got a teaching award and don't know if they'll accept an update.
pkgts Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Lol I forgot to submit transcripts post submission, i thought they were just double emailing me for my final letter of recommendation
mikefromnj Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) This is my second year applying for the predoc. Last year I received an honorable mention. And I also recently won an award that would have been super handy before the application deadline. Edited January 22, 2022 by mikefromnj
qeta Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 I applied for the pre-doc fellowship this year. Not expecting much, but am interested in seeing how they score my application.
commphdhopeful Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 hi just found this forum! i applied for predoc:) my top choice (accepted!) is fully funded so i'm not too worried but it would be wonderful and very exclusive to get the ford fellowship!
cafesinleche4 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Does anyone have an idea of when applications are being reviewed / results will be sent out? I know last year they were sent out around March 22 and the year before it wasn't too far off from that date. Any leads?
blinky Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 It seems like the review panel met last week: https://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/FordFellowships/PGA_086216 Based on GradCafe replies, last year the review panel met around March 11th, and announced the results around March 22nd. Assuming things are going similarly, we should hear back in a week or two. commphdhopeful 1
qeta Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 @blinky Thanks for the excellent sleuthing! Good luck all.
blinky Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 No problem! By the way, when I checked the application system today, I got this message "Review results will be available one to two weeks after the review."
cafesinleche4 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I have that message now too! I wonder if we'll find out this week then if the review was last week?
blinky Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Based on my sleuthing last year the review was March 11th (ish), website updated to "Review results will be available one to two weeks after the review" on March 17th, and people heard back on March 22nd. This year the review was March 9th (ish), website updated to "Review results will be available one to two weeks after the review" on March 15th. Therefore my guess is that we may hear back on Monday March 21st or Tuesday March 22nd.
cafesinleche4 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Is anyone able to log on to their portal? I just logged on right now to check (I know... the anxiety, haha) and I get an error message that I'm unable to view my application portal. Anyone else? Edit: Never mind! It was just a problem on my end. I tried logging in again and the problem was fixed. Edited March 16, 2022 by cafesinleche4

I applied for the predoc. Nothing has changed with my portal

soupnazi Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Anyone else's work suffering because your brain is preoccupied with the looming Ford/NSF results? Just me? Coolcoolcool.

Coolcoolcool. And Yes! I really would like this fellowship... My last try to do it and I really hope it works out lol... Crazy thing is, I forgot about it for a bit and it recently came into mind last week, and I guess it is because we are in March and the results will be out by the end of the month! I am really praying for the best. soupnazi and commphdhopeful 2
cafesinleche4 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Does anyone know if results have always been posted in the morning? I wonder if we don't hear back by a given morning, we won't expect to hear back at all that day. It seems like they have a tendency to release in the morning!

NSF Was posted a little before midnight (EST) in 2020. I don't recall Ford... Sorry. But I think probably in the afternoon if I am not mistaken, and this was in 2020... perhaps you can look through last year's thread and see when the first post about awards was made... I am sure it will give you a better sense in time. Edited March 17, 2022 by CeXra
DiseaseChiroptologist Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Hi all! First time applier here for pre-doctoral as well! I am anxiously awaiting the results but don't have much hope. I'm ready to be done waiting haha! What are the chances we'll hear back tomorrow? ?
cafesinleche4 Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 I have a feeling we'll find out next week. I think in the recent 3-4 years, they've only ever notified in the morning... so it looks like if we don't find out during the morning of a given day, we will find out another day! commphdhopeful 1
oikonomia22 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Did anyone apply to the Dissertation fellowship? Assuming that the notifications come the same day as the pre-Diss one?
CeXra Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 I have a feeling the results for the pre-doc will be released either Monday or Tuesday !!! Good Luck everyone!
cafesinleche4 Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 I feel the same way! Fingers crossed! Good luck everyone
commphdhopeful Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 ahhhhh anxiously awaiting....... clinical09878 1
