They should be making the first cut within the next two weeks. I'm a little bit nervous because I found an error on my cover sheet. But it wasn't a budget problem, so I'm hoping it's overlooked.

Posted

Do we know how many they take in the first cut (percentage wise)?

We should hear this month the results of the first cut. I'm not sure how many percentage-wise makes it to the second round. My husband made it last year to the second round, but didn't get the fellowship.

According to their website, about 50% of applications make the first cut:

  • Stage One: Applications are screened against the General Criteria for Evaluation. All applicants will be notified as to whether or not they are successful at this stage, generally 3 months after the deadline. Approximately 50% of all applications are successful at this stage
     
  • Stage Two: Successful applications are sent to an external panel for academic review. Applicants will be notified within 6-8 months of the original application deadline. Approximately 33% of Stage Two applications are successful

 

I'm already planning my reapplication.  I just want to get some feedback at this point.

Just got my first round notification! Moving on to the second round. Yaaaay! Good luck everyone :)

I didn't make it. =( Anyone NOT from anthropology ever got a WG grant? I'm from sociology.

Does anyone know, how long they are sending out the results of the first cut? Only one day or more?

ferret, I'm not sure, but check your spam folder.  Gmail put mine in there and I only saw it because I was looking for something else.

Has anyone else got a budget revision request? Do you know what it means?

Posted

No budget revision request here, ferret.  Was it a revision request or did they request information about what other funding you've received?  Because I know the latter is a very good sign.  If they've asked about your other sources of funding, it generally means you're being seriously considered.

No, jennyb. They only asked to eliminate the part, which I do not expect them to cover, but included to show that I do take it into account and expect it to be covered from other sources. So I guess they just revise the budget before sending the project to external commitee to make sure that generally speaking this project is doable in terms of funding--so that they do not have to make people read the whole thing if it does not fit in general.

It could still be a good sign, ferret!  At least they are allowing you to make revisions instead of tossing the application out.  We're still in this!

Does anyone know if April is the month when they will let us know who got it?

Posted

The past few years, they've notified rejections and likely funded folks on Mondays and Tuesdays around the 9th of April.  The official acceptance comes soon after by mail.  My guess is it'll be in the next 10 days or so.  Can't come soon enough! I just want enough time to reapply, if need be.

Thank you jenny, I hear you about the reapplication. This process is nerve racking.

Back to the drawing board! Just got my reviews back.

Jenny, in spam or not in spam?

Not in spam this time, but from funding decision.  If you get the almost certain acceptance email, it should come from funding review.  How many reviews do people usually get?
