AmandaGGregg Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I submitted mine in Economics on January 5, and it went to external peer review on 3/25. I haven't heard anything since. Hmph. I suspect that "external peer review" means something different depending on your field. I speculate that, given how long this is taking, "external peer review" in econ means that it is out to reviewers, which is basically like saying it's floating in limbo for who knows how long. Anybody have some greater wisdom on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have some greater wisdom on this? i applied to economics as well. my application was also sent to external peer review on 3/25 and i haven't heard anything either. someone i know that applied two years ago got his decision (recommended) end of may. someone else told me he got his rejection early may. yet another person didn't hear back at all - when she wrote to them in mid-july asking if a decision had ever been made, they told her that she had not been recommended, but didn't give her any reviews... all of these people applied to econ. so i guess i'm really not sure how this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildredp Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Eeghii, which program did you apply to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crofty Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I don't want to cause any undue stress, but I think we all like to have as much info as possible. So, here goes: I received an email on Wed, May 30 saying that I've been recommended for funding by Cultural Anthro and Law and Social Science. The email came from the Law and Social Science division...if that means anything. The email included some instructions as to a couple extra documents I need to provide before the recommendation could be made, and it also included my reviews. Also, just some encouragement to persevere - this was my second time applying, and I found that the reviewer's comments from my first round were very very helpful in drafting my second application. Good luck to all of you still waiting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gifthorse Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Biological Anthropology applicants are now being notified (happily, I got one). If you haven't heard from them, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't get one. In the last round (where I was not successful), there were high and low priority awardees. It's possible the low priority awardees won't hear for a bit. I don't know. I'm just saying don't jump to a conclusion without getting all the information...and good luck.

chocolatey Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Congratulations, gifthorse! Do you mind if I ask how you were notified of NSF's decision? Sadly I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

mildredp Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Chocolatey, I heard back from the Bio Anth program director on Friday (recommended for funding) via email. I applied before and there are tiers of competitiveness-- so don't despair! I have already heard of rejections and acceptances... At this point, the longer you don't hear back it probably means that you are still in a competitive position. Congratulations, gifthorse! Do you mind if I ask how you were notified of NSF's decision? Sadly I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolo123 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi, has anyone heard about Political Science? The only change in my status was the Program Director, but I don´t think that means anything. I applied on January and the review was on May 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftylandshark Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Has anyone heard yet who applied for the DDIG in August 2012? In Bio anth, they changed to 8 month cycles, so I'm not sure if we'll still find out soon or if it will be later since the next deadline isn't until April 2013.

antennaehead Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I applied for bio anth in August; Fastlane says that external review began on 11/5, and the last status update ('pending') is on 11/19. Not sure how long it usually takes to be informed after the external review. I wonder if they may wait until the fiscal cliff shenanigans are resolved; we might see some cuts in science funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinj_man Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 For those waiting on August bio anth DDIGs, I was notified in mid-November that my proposal was successful (this was my second submission). Don't lose hope until you hear back, as they may not make all decisions at once, or some proposals may be recommended for funding but at a lower priority. Good luck!
