vannik Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I cannot wait to get rejected from the NSF, have to tell my adviser and listen to him say "you should have done better on the GRE's and gotten a 4.0" after months of him telling me grades don't matter and the only thing that matters now is my research. Dogfish Head Sahtea anyone? Is it out yet?! AMG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omusubi Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Someone a few pages back suggested that they use the extra stimulus money to go back and give awards to last year's HMers. As a 2008 HM, is it wrong of me to actually be holding out a miniscule amount of hope that this could be true? Realistically I don't need it - I'm in grad school, I have funding. But at the same time, the siren call of the GRFP is just that strong... Wouldn't that cause more problems for people who applied in 2007? 2006? and so on? I'm not sure....

monkeywrench Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wouldn't that cause more problems for people who applied in 2007? 2006? and so on? I'm not sure.... Oh, I'm sure it would. There's no WAY they would actually give awards retroactively (causing problems for earlier applications, grad school decisions, etc.) I think it was just presented as an amusing idea. That said, tell me the 2008 HM'ers wouldn't trample each other to take it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetetic Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 it does that every night at exactly the same time, don't take it seriously..

tensor Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think we should know by the end of this week. Im basing this on the fact that the engineers have to tell their fellowship whether they are accepting/declining by this Friday. Any thoughts?

vice Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Check this out: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity ... =1&au=&ck= Looks like they are going to contract out the GRFP process.

I do not think NSF even cares about the other fellowships, so they will release it whenever they feel like doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vice Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 2008 - March 31 2007 - March 26 2006 - March 30 2005 - April 9 I think these are the dates for the last few years, give or take a little. 2005 is the closest to this year. I feel like they might want to not be "as late" as 2005, so maybe they will try to do it tomorrow or the day after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vice Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, true. It looks like they contract it out every few years. I wonder if 2005 was also a contract out year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if 2005 was also a contract out year? actually ... maybe it was their first year doing nsf stuff? "The services are currently being performed by American Socity for Engineering Education, Inc. (ASEE) under Contract Number DGE-0426243 which was awarded on March 13, 2004. The ceiling value of the contract (Base Period plus all option periods) is $14,470,216.00." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb6 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds to me like we have someone new to pester on the phone! Who's calling ASEE tomorrow bright and early?? :idea: :idea: :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's calling ASEE tomorrow bright and early?? :idea: :idea: :idea: Umm... seriously? Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the GRF Operations Center administered by ASEE? So wouldn't they be the ASEE folks who we would need to contact, and haven't people been contacting them plenty already? Plus I don't think anyone needs two more pages about the merits (or lack thereof) of said pestering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
