Got the formal rejection email.  2 for 2.  Don't fret too much people . . . rejections are a guaranteed part of the life we've asked for.

Got a rejection as well, with a notification that I will get reviewer comments in May.

 

Apparently with the IDRF only the top 10-15% of applications receive reviewer comments...is this true with this award as well or does everyone get them? Trying to find a silver lining here.

For whatever it's worth, my rejection letter said the same thing about receiving comments by May. Not sure if that was just standard wording, but i like the silver lining idea!

Got my comments today. Mostly positive.

 

One reviewer thought I should have a more developed theoretical perspective.

 

One reviewer thought I should have focused more geographically. (This is interesting considering everyone I know who has been awarded has larger geographic area than I do now and had even larger ones when they were awarded. I'll chalk it up to people not realizing how small the country I work in actually is. It's a good thing to address in future applications regardless.)

 

One reviewer loved everything about it.

 

Reading reviews is frustrating.
