Torrid Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't know much about the full grant program, or about host affiliations, and the person who I'm about to reference did a Fulbright like 10 years ago or something...so definitely take all that I'm about to say with a huge grain of salt. Anyway, one of my professors said that after you are accepted into the program, what you do doesn't really matter that much. Not to say it doesn't matter, but that they figure you're motivated enough to do something, so if your plans change somewhat from your proposal (in terms of what your project exactly entails) you're not going to be penalized. It's more for you, and for the experience...and most projects usually change once you start working on them regardless (perhaps this is more true for a humanities project like she did, but still). Point being, I would assume that they would have some flexibility with your project, if not also the location. I don't know how much information they gave you in the original e-mail and/or if/when they plan to send you more, but I would definitely try to contact someone and let them know that there are other labs you might be interested in working with, and if so, what would be the best way to go about that. They can't help you if they don't know! From what I knew about my friend who did a full grant in Budapest, this is very true. He had a ton of flexibility to do as he pleased; all he had to do was write up his research at the end of his grant to basically prove he did SOMETHING.

myhandsarebananas Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 As my friend Clarice says/sings, "there's always tomorrow, for dreams to come true." Even though I'm ready for winter to be over, Rudolph is pretty much always appropriate. Of course I would prefer if "tomorrow" would actually be tomorrow.
