anthro.fish Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Deadline was last October . . . just making a space for people to obsess while waiting for the results. Please comment if you hear anything, or know anything - especially if it's an unfounded rumor. Good luck to all. ThinkPositive 1
anthro.fish Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 I didn't see any timeline regarding when awards would be announced. There . . . there's something to obsess about.
dmonstration Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hi, anthro! You're not alone. I am anxious to see the turnout of applicants. The SSRC made some major changes to the program this year. ThinkPositive and anthro.fish 2
anthro.fish Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Right. I applied last year (and tried to cram my topic into one of the five research fields), and failed. Interesting to see this year's application seemingly wide open.
anthro.fish Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Tic . . . tock . . . tic . . . tock. ThinkPositive 1
jmu Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I wonder if results will come back earlier this year. I know last year they were announced late-March but they weren't due until late-January or early-February. I'm getting anxious as I watch the price of plane tickets rise.

anthro.fish Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 The SSRC IDRF (International Dissertation Research Fellowship) applicants received news today. That is . . . rejections arrived in the mail. Their deadline was November 4. Ours was October 15. Maybe we'll be hearing soon too? ThinkPositive 1
ThinkPositive Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Hoping we hear about this one soon! The website says applicants will be notified by April, but with an October due date it seems like we may hear sooner than that. (wishful thinking?) Does anyone happen to have any insight about the review process this year, especially since the format is new?
ThinkPositive Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 well it's almost March... won't be long now, I suppose... anthro.fish 1
dmonstration Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) well it's almost March... won't be long now, I suppose... I sense you're right. My heart sank a little when I saw this thread had been updated. Edited February 27, 2015 by dmonstration
anthro.fish Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Adding more posts to create suspense.
ThinkPositive Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) sorry for inducing stress, dmonstration! and anthrofish, thanks - suspense seems better than silence at this point! Edited February 27, 2015 by ThinkPositive anthro.fish 1
jmu Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 So, someone from my department just received notice that they got the DPDF.
dmonstration Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I received an acceptance email today. Fingers crossed for more good news reported here ThinkPositive and anthro.fish 2
anthro.fish Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Arrrggghhh!!! This grad school thing can be such a roller coaster. I used to love roller coasters.
jmu Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I really just want to know so I can finalize my plans. Having not heard anything sucks. anthro.fish 1
ThinkPositive Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Congrats to those who've heard good news! No word here... (Will be changing screen name to ThinkNegative by this time tomorrow.....) But really, perhaps they will be notifying awardees over the next few days... Do we know how notifications have gone out in previous years? anthro.fish 1
anthro.fish Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Last year rejections came out a week after acceptances. De...ja...vu.
jmu Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The hopeful part of me is thinking that people who were put into one group were sent notifications. Everyone else is getting put into groups now. The rest of me thinks the hopeful part of me is an idiot.
anthro.fish Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 I think I must be part hopeful idiot too. Group me up Baby!!! jmu 1
Tachiyaku Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Just got my notification of acceptance today. Hope the good news keeps rolling for everyone. ThinkPositive 1
jmu Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 They said on Twitter that everyone would know by the end of next week. ThinkPositive 1
ThinkPositive Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 thanks for the info, jmu. will be good to know the final answer either way at this point. and, who knows, maybe there is still hope for some more acceptances....
