blargh Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 somehow, i find it hard to believe that we'll be notified in the next hour, now, the next thirty minutes. but i'm commenting to get the pagecount to 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It seems like it might be more efficient for GRFP to use machine messages rather than having people answer the phones at this time of year. They give more or less canned answers, and everyone is asking the same question. The money they spend on call center personnel could be used on a couple more fellowships!

efficient biped Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Maybe all the waiting is just a ruse. Maybe they really ARE too "busy" doing something else... http://www.sciam.com/blog/60-second-sci ... 2009-04-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they really ARE too "busy" doing something else... http://www.sciam.com/blog/60-second-sci ... 2009-04-07 so they can't do porn anymore....instead, could you imagine nsf/call center employees following this forum and giving scintillating responses to see how fast it would get posted then follow with generic answers for a while until the person feels like rousing up desperate grad students again?????

mechemems Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i imagine that most of you who are calling are pushy enough that even if they put up a canned answer, you would still press 0 to talk to a representative and ask the question that the machine had just answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flush9 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Question...if awarded the NSF fellowship can I immediately defer it the first year? Or do I need to claim tenure for the first year and THEN I'm eligible to defer for any of the following years? From what I understand, I can defer any two of the 5 years, including the first. Just thought I'd ask everyone else on here. :wink: Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tensor Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 END OF THE WEEK they said..... doesnt today qualify ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanglish Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Au contraire, I'm afraid. According to a document on nsfgrfp.org: "You can defer the award for up to two years and take other funding if this is something that appeals to you. You might also defer the first year, take two years of funding, then defer another year, for example." http://www.nsfgrfp.org/assets/File/NSFG ... 08%20NEW(1).ppt So, for example, you can accept NDSEG, use that for 2 years, and then use the GRFP funding.

cancerschmancer Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 the worst is waiting for almost this long, and the possibility of "sorry, u are not good enough" maybe the stimulus will also afford a free t-shirt or mouse pad to all the desperate grads, who don't get the fellowship, who checked their email 324789749 times looking for a reply.
