Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I applied in August, but have now gotten my feedback. I'll consider the evil response, but I'm really focusing on other things...like my comps defense tomorrow, waiting to hear from Wenner-Gren, etc...

Of course - you have tons of time to read all your reviews. =) Out of curiosity, what is the date on your feedback? If it is March then I guess the sequester really did screw things up. I got my feedback as soon as it posted because I had been checking fastlane every day since 3/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medler Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Applied to the November 2013 deadline. External review date 2/6/14. Status date change 3/7/14. Still pending. . . wish they would get the "rejection" over with quickly. Edited March 19, 2014 by medler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGoMatrix Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi everyone, Confirming what gzahn noted - I only just heard (positively) from the DEB Ecosystems panel today! They just emailed my advisor, and the reviews are not on Fastlane yet. Seems like they might be one of the last sections to be coming in. Good luck to anyone still waiting!

medler Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Anyone hear positively or negatively about the bio anth DDIG (Nov 2013 deadline)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
external Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 still waiting on Cultural Anthro. August 2013 results. Heard positively, but yet to get anything solid or final. Anyone else on the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padthai234 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 August?! They've already started panels for the winter deadline! Have you checked with Mantz??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
external Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 i know, right!! I'd heard from Mantz in late Feb. that it might take 6-8 weeks to finalize the recommendation. But nothing since then. He'd said something about an intended April 1st start date. But that has passed too. I just wrote to him again. NSF!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mata Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Anyone know if a program officer switch on Fastlane means anything? I applied for the November deadline. It just shows me as "pending." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Applebee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The same thing happened to me--my review date was 4/3 and when I logged into Fastlane this morning I saw the Program Officer had changed but the application was still listed as "pending." A good sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mata Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't know, but I hope so! Good luck to those still waiting to hear! I should say, not the November deadline, but the January one. I'm mixing up WG and SSRC with NSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far_to_go Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I got an e-mail today from Deborah Winslow saying that my NSF application (Cultural Anthro, Jan 2014 deadline) has been rejected. My external review date was April 3, so it's kind of a bummer to be rejected so quickly :-/ Good luck to all who are still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padthai234 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 weird my panel started 3/24 and... nothing. when does it become appropriate to email. (sorry for the negative news, but it is one tough grant, and at least they were prompter than normal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumstheword Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Same here, padthai. I wonder if the August debacle will affect start dates/disbursement for January applicants. Have we seen any precedents set for this in previous years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medler Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My review date was 2/6. I had a status date change of 3/7, and just heard I was declined. Another student on this forum hear on 3/10, so I'm not sure why there is such a discrepancy since my reviews were uploaded on 2/27. I did receive pretty positive, helpful comments. Good luck to those still in the running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mata Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sorry about being declined, medler. I hope the positive and helpful comments mean you will have an easy time revising, if that's your plan! Considering they have contacted a lot of folks already, I'm hoping that they will send the remainder next week. Seems odd that they would continue to stagger it out as the weeks go on. I would think they must have reached their final decisions if they could have contacted a lot of people already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mata Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Anyone else who applied in January in Cultural Anthro who is still in limbo? The wait is terrible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumstheword Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I agree, Mata. Considering that a lot of our schools wait until the last minute to make appointment decisions, it is hard to know what my financial situation is going to be over the next year... I'm also cultural anth. what's you're project about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
