Consortium for Faculty Diversity

Who applied? have you been contacted yet? if so by who? what was the process like?

I applied, but unlike other fellowships, I feel like this one is very open-ended.  I know one person who got it at the post-doc level several years ago (now a faculty member in my dept), but he had been in the running to be hired for a regular faculty position at the college.  When they couldn't find funding for that, they had him apply through CFD and hired him as a CFD fellow instead.  Seems to me like we could go months without hearing anything.  They say you can contact schools yourself, but I don't see the point in that unless you know specific people you'd like to work with, who would be interested in your research.  I suppose I'm viewing CFD as more of a resume-posting website, than an actual fellowship with deadlines and notifications.
