husky Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Mine still says "awaiting nsf approval". Closetgeek, which country did you apply to? I applied to Norway. Congrats to those with news!!!
closetgeek Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I applied to Japan. Mine also still says that it's awaiting approval. Good luck! husky 1
TheBigRed Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Husky, I wouldn't worry. Each partner organization operates on a different timeline. My country is the Netherlands. Also, I think Norway tends to accept almost everyone! That gives me hope. husky 1
misho Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I applied for Japan as well, haven't received an email but fastlane still says Im waiting for approval. This is getting nerve-wracking WhiskeyDick 1
TheBigRed Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I assume everyone got the e-mail regarding "Status of Your GROW Application." I really want the official word from the NSF so I can plan for my new journey!
closetgeek Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Yep! It is pretty frustrating. I have an internship offer that I don't know what to do with because I haven't gotten a final approval from NSF WhiskeyDick and TheBigRed 2
WhiskeyDick Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I just got the email from Rick Tankersley telling me to get my sh*t together for Denmark! Boom. TheBigRed 1
closetgeek Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Congrats guys! I'm going to Japan ! A letter hasn't gone out yet, but I got unofficial word yesterday . Probably won't be completely satisfied til I get the letter though!
husky Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Closetgeek, where did you get unofficial word from? Rick? Your host?
closetgeek Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Closetgeek, where did you get unofficial word from? Rick? Your host? I emailed the partner organization to ask if they knew when the awards would be sent out. They told me not til mid-May and that I would be receiving one. husky 1
TheBigRed Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Do you know how the travel allowance is handled ($5000)? Do we have to go through painful reimbursement processes for research/travel etc.?
husky Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I emailed the partner organization to ask if they knew when the awards would be sent out. They told me not til mid-May and that I would be receiving one. Good to know. Thanks. I'll just keep holding my breath til mid-May, then start emailing people.
husky Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Do you know how the travel allowance is handled ($5000)? Do we have to go through painful reimbursement processes for research/travel etc.? I'm pretty sure when Rick came out to our campus he said that the travel allowance is disbursed through your university before you leave and in one lump sum... But that was a while ago, I could be mistaken.
closetgeek Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Finally got the official email today! Japan, I hope you're ready for meeee
daly_ab Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I just got an email from Rick that Austria has accepted me, and I'll have OFFICIAL-official word in the next couple of days. It was a drag to wait this long (but, understandable - these things take time!), and luckily I'm planning to go in Sept so the logistics should be just fine. YAY!! Congrats to all my fellow GROW-ees! This should be incredible. --Amanda closetgeek 1
husky Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I finally got my letter yesterday. Yay! I was starting to feel left out. Congrats everyone! closetgeek 1
Jones3801 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Has anyone been accepted to go to Australia? Congratulations to Husky, Closetgeek, and Daly_ab! Edited May 21, 2015 by Jones3801 guttata 1
Jones3801 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 How about this? Has anyone, who has applied to Australia, NOT heard from NSF? guttata 1
acm24 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 How about this? Has anyone, who has applied to Australia, NOT heard from NSF? I applied to Australia, haven't heard from them.
Jones3801 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I applied to Australia, haven't heard from them. Thanks acm24, It makes me feel better knowing someone else hasn't heard. Maybe Australia is behind getting their approvals finalized for whatever reason.
khasiv Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Anyone heard from France? Now I'm super confused about the process. What happens if I'm approved?
husky Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Well, seeing that we've all been getting responses trickling in at different times, apparently each country has its own timeline. For me, since I heard back so late in May, it is not possible for me to meet my June travel date. Fortunately, it's not a problem for me to leave later. I wish I could tell you what happens if you are accepted Kasiv, but I'm still confused myself. In my acceptance letter from NSF, I was instructed to contact my host country's research council and when I did, they said I would be getting an email with further instructions soon...I still haven't got the email. So I think we have to just accept that it will be a slow process. For those of you who have not heard anything at all by May 31st, I would contact Rick. We should all hear at least something by the end of the month... Good luck to you all and positive thoughts your way!
Jones3801 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I just got an email from Rich Tankersley. My application to conduct research in Australia has been accepted, and only a few hours before June. Good luck to others that may still be following this thread.
