NSF GRFP 2016-2017

[8BitJourney]

Reading some of the winning essays/CVs and my imposter syndrome is back in full force especially since I'd be applying with a counseling psych research background and will probably only have papers in prep (3 possibly, 1 first author) by the submission deadline. Any past winners from counseling or clinical psych fields? The one's on Alex Lang's site, while incredibly useful as a template, are leaning towards statistics and I'm my lab leans more towards outreach and intervention research.

Has anyone ever accepted the NSF, but then terminated/declined it before the May 1 deadline in lieu of another grant that cannot be accepted concurrently?

Check out the posts about NSF vs NDSEG or other threads along those lines

Hi all, does anyone know if any HMs have been bumped up to fellows/when that may occur? I don't have high hopes for that but wanted to ask before I start planning on whether to apply again this year, starting up the writing process again, etc.

I've heard that it happens, but unfortunately I don't have any information on when.

Also, they may halve the number of fellowships next year...

If you get bumped up, it would be this month (a friend of mine mid June a few years ago)
