e_sac Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was hoping that it would be tonight. I'm defending my undergrad honors thesis tomorrow, and it would be a nice way to break the ice with "Hey, got NSF last night..." Although, now that I've expressed that dream out loud, I'm even more sure it won't happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denidzo Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Um... also, does everyone else no longer see the message about scheduled maintenance tonight? I never saw it to begin with, just saw the note about it here. After all this waiting, nothing would surprise me anymore ... .except maybe getting an award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclelurker Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I never saw it to begin with, just saw the note about it here. After all this waiting, nothing would surprise me anymore ... .except maybe getting an award "Welcome to the FastLane Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Due to the complexity of the current budget situation, the 2009 GRFP awards will be announced in installments based on fields of study and other factors. The first installment is now available on FastLane. Awardees, as well as Applicants not recommended for funding, have been notified by email. Recipients of Honorable Mention and any additional Fellowship award offers will be forthcoming. Applicant ratings sheets will be available after all award announcements have been made. We thank you for your patience. " rats in a maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meowser Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Whenever I read this forum for too long, I get wistful songs from musicals stuck in my head. Mostly it's "Tomorrow" from Annie, and "Somewhere over the Rainbow." Pretty awesome, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm guessing that it will be somewhere around 400 more awards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bioangele Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The applicant rating sheet page is down! lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekog Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now? As someone who checks to see if the "Request lost password" link on the rating sheet page works three times a day: no, it's just been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSi_light Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now? Before it just wasn't letting you on it. Now it gives an error, but it has done that before w/ no problem... just playing devil's advocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekog Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Excellent. I'm going to wait up until at least midnight, just to see if fastlane actually does go down--perhaps they've retracted their claim as noted by the "original" status on the website.
