Also, I've just noticed: We seem to be slacking this year. Last year's GRFP page had over 50 pages, we're less than half that. I think we need to pick up the pace, no way people keep posting enough to catch up once awards are announced.

I'm only reloading this thread. Fastlane gives me the willies. I'll probably end up waiting for the email subject line to tell me.

(I want to upvote Homo studentsis but I'm out of votes... too much fun stuff on this thread already today.)

The results showed up around page 35 last year and was followed by results and then later reviewer sheet scores. I think we're making good progress.

reminder of the dates they released it before. March 29-30 isn't outlandish

Does anyone remember the difference in the email subjects in past years? I feel like someone mentioned something in the past...

I can't believe that the NSF (although this goes for most grad programs in general) can't give us a specific release date for results. I also don't understand why they give themselves 6 hours to upload the results. You would think they could write a program just to post the results in under an hour. Finally, how do they not post the score reports at the same time?

Wow, this is good entertainment. All the anticipation of childbirth with none of the physical pain (mental anguish about the same).

THAT would be a good proposal.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have two assignments due tomorrow--going to my department head, neither of which I can focus on--and have an experiment to run that will take me ~10 hours that I need to be semi-conscious to perform. If NSF really IS trolling, ha ha, can you please just shoot me a quick email so I can go to sleep and NOT get fired tomorrow?

"I plan to study the estimated cost (in lost productivity, life-span reductions due to stress, etc) the NSF GRFP program causes each year by failing to disclose an official announcement date."
