Teelee Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 If you receive funding, can you defer it for a year? I couldn't find the info. frog81 and Teelee 1 1
iced mocha Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 When I got my undergraduate fellowship from the EPA it took FOREVER to hear something. If you haven't heard anything, it is a good sign because they send out rejection notices before acceptance calls as they are able to weed people out more quickly than they are able to decide on the few that recieve an award. That said, I recieved my rejection packet. Thank goodness for the NSF. What section did you apply under? frog81 1
aerosci Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Did anyone on here apply for FON I1 (Human Health: Public Health)? frog81 1
bluesand Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I thought I would pass this info along. I was curious about why I only had the summary review form, whereas everyone else I know got the three review scores, so I asked the contact in my letter what that meant. In summary, he said that after the proposals go through three reviews, a panel meets to discuss the applications. Those with high scores from all three reviewers get discussed by the entire panel, and if that occurs, you get a summary of the reviews from all panel members. After the panel review, those with a final score of excellent are forwarded to internal review. Apparently about 214 out of 1479 were forwarded to internal review, and they have funding for about 150 awards this year. Edited May 2, 2011 by bluesand frog81 1

frog81 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Called in last week to the EPA about my application status and finally received a follow-up call today. In short, the contact person said that if you haven't received a declination letter by now then most likely you have made it to the final internal review. Additionally, I was told that it is still a long process at the internal review and to not expect anything quickly. I thought I would pass this info along.

frog81 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I hear ya. Some days normally seem to drag on but I feel like the next few weeks will be in slow motion until I hear something. Wish you and everyone else good luck. Thanks for the info guys! I am going crazy here. hah. I applied K1, still no word for me frog81 1
fuiaa Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 F1 rejection just received today on the West Coast. Good luck to the rest of you still in the running!!!
frog81 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 fuiaa, did you get a summarized review from the panel or three individual reviews? After reviewing earlier posts, it seems like the longer it takes to get a rejection packet the further you must be advancing. F1 rejection just received today on the West Coast. Good luck to the rest of you still in the running!!! frog81 1
fuiaa Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Hey Frog81. No I got 3 reviews, Good/VeryGood/Excellent with highly varied opinions on all three categories (Merit, Commitment to Envir. Career, and Broader Impacts). I don't think I even had that panel review. As for why it took long to get to me, not sure, maybe because of FON? I noticed the E1 people getting rejections around the same time too. Hope this helps! fuiaa, did you get a summarized review from the panel or three individual reviews?

aerosci Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Another person in my department also received his rejection letter yesterday with 3 reviews. His went through campus mail so it might have taken a little longer. The letter was dated April 26. Hey Frog81.

tboats Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Did anyone on here apply for FON I1 (Human Health: Public Health)? I applied to I1, but have not heard anything yet... frog81 1
AquaFlux Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Don't you just love scuttlebutt? Somebody here heard that EPA's only offering 30 fellowships now due to budget cuts. Any confirmation? Also, It seems like first round rejections might still be trickling out. No word here for J1 on the East Coast. Everyday I chant "NO whammies, NO whammies" when I check my mail. Let the paranoia ensue!
frog81 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Again, no rejection letter today in the mail. I am sure that rejections are still abound, but I haven't heard anything for J3.

tboats Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Received the rejection from I1 today on the west coast. Good luck to everyone else! frog81 1
iced mocha Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Again, no rejection letter today in the mail. I am sure that rejections are still abound, but I haven't heard anything for J3. I think BlueSand posted that he/she called he EPA and was told that they had about 150 to give out this year.... so I am not sure that 30 is correct. But I guess we prob wont know until they announce in a few months. frog81 1

But I guess we prob wont know until they announce in a few months. Yes, it was an email response. And it sounded like they had just sent ~214 for internal review, so I am guessing the ~150 awards won't be announced until the May 30th date. I have no idea how the rejections are being sent for the different FON's, but it sounds like certain groups haven't heard anything yet. (My labmate is K1 and hasn't received anything yet) Edited May 4, 2011 by bluesand frog81 1

But I guess we prob wont know until they announce in a few months. Yeah, 150 would be great, of course! Not trying to freak anyone out, just something going around the rumor mill here. Bluesand's info seems more credible. Though I'm curious how in this budget climate that the number increased from the 105 they originally indicated in the RFP. Time will tell! Here's hoping we will continue to hear nothing until the congratulatory phone call. =) frog81 1
frog81 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I sure hope so. As for me, I am crawling out of my skin right now. Checked the mail today and no rejection for J3. Yeah, 150 would be great, of course!

frog81 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Again, I find myself looking on this forum to see if anyone has heard anything new. frog81 1
iced mocha Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 still no word for K1 on the west coast.... I am K1 as well.. no one in K1 posted that they got rejected ... so I wonder if they have not sent them out yet.
diggingdirt Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Nothing yet from J2 out here on the West coast. Although I haven't heard of any J2-ers getting anything, so they probably haven't started sending our rejections out yet... Edited May 6, 2011 by diggingdirt frog81 1
