DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 For those who have been through this ordeal of waiting before, does SSRC update the portal to let applicants know they have been rejected? Or is it safe to assume that if you have not been sent a transcript request (email or through the portal) by the end of the day today, the application likely didnt make it?

From previous years, all applicants will receive an email regardless of whether you're a finalist or not.
Umairrasheed Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 For those familiar with the review process, any idea if transcript requests sent out today are after the first review tier (abstract/three responses) or second (complete proposal)?
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Still no news about finalist or rejection status on the portal or over email for me. Anyone else?

qeta Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 No news on the portal or email for me either. The SSRC app was easily my least favorite - I reread my material and they are only slightly coherent and messy af.

Anyone else? Same. They’re rather slow this year… For those who have heard back from them, do you mind sharing what your disciplinary fields are? I wonder if they categorize the applications based on disciplinary fields. Maybe some reviewers are faster than others?

I wonder if they categorize the applications based on disciplinary fields. Maybe some reviewers are faster than others? Got a transcript request email and when I followed the link, the "round" changed to finalist submission. It then morphed into two submission. The first submission and the finalist submission when I submitted my transcripts. My discipline is geography. I know this may sound silly but checking your spam is a great idea.
Coffee Snob Posted February 19, 2022 Author Posted February 19, 2022 Still nothing so far. Nothing in the spam too. Some people say no news is good news, but I’m almost certain that I’m just waiting for a rejection letter. I’ve sent an email inquiring the status of my application. We’ll see if they respond. (((My speculation is some of the reviewers got distracted with the harvard letters last week, so they couldn’t meet the review deadlines & kept asking for extensions. Lol.)))

Same, almost certain it is going to be a rejection at this point. If possible, could you let us know what they say in case they reply to your email inquiring about the status?
TahuJeletot Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I just got my rejection email! ? Oh and nothing changes in the SSRC portal if anyone’s wondering.
qeta Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Got the rejection email today, on 2/22 at 1:28pm. See you again next year. TahuJeletot 1
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Just received my rejection email too. Congratulations to the finalists. TahuJeletot 1
Coffee Snob Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 Finally received the rejection letter. Congratulations for the finalists! In case folks don’t know: you can email IDRF asking for reviewers’ comments on your application. I did that last year & they responded quite fast. Did anyone apply for WennerGren? I’ll be more active on that thread now. Fingers crossed ??

DrunkCafe Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Hi folks, do you know the success rate of finalists? Thank you very much.
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Just received this. So much for feedback: Dear Applicant, We received your inquiry regarding information about your application to the 2022 International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) competition. Unfortunately, we do not have comments available from the screener round. Thank you again for your interest in the IDRF program. Sincerely, IDRF Program Team

gorgogliante Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Does anyone know when award recipients and alternates are likely to be announced?

From previous years, fellows and alternates should be out by second week of April. Typically wards are announced any where from April 8-12. I assume this year will follow same trend? gorgogliante 1

So long Social Science Research Council. It was good to have you for all these years… Well, it turns out that unfortunately this year's fellows will actually be the last. The Mellon foundation has stopped funding the program. For clarity, if you applied this year, you can still win funding. But there will be no application this fall or thereafter. Here's the announcement: https://www.ssrc.org/programs/idrf/idrf-announcement/ Edited April 6, 2022 by gorgogliante

Does anyone know when the results will be sent out? Is it typically the Monday of the second week of April or do we think it might be today?

It looks like in previous years that's when the announcements have gone out.
