trogdorburninator Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 like you need extra help remembering that you haven't heard from them! i'm tempted to reach out to find out if it'll be via mail or email, but also, maybe i can just sit on it for a few more days.

trogdorburninator Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 received email approval today! glad this wait is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlan Pepper Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 For digital posterity: I also received approval on April 30. Also for digital posterity: I applied for the Post-PhD Research Grant. It looks like all the forms, procedures, and timelines are identical for both the Post-PhD and the Dissertation Research Grants. Finally for posterity, as it seems other applicants may have similar experiences: Reviews were visible long before news of approval appeared, and they were not universally positive. I was surprised by some negative comments made by reviewers, which a.) asked for information that I felt I had clearly given in the application; or b.) seemed to contradict the stated goals of the W-G Research Grants. This leads me to guess that W-G doesn't simply accept the reviews at face value, but actually reviews the reviews. Good luck to future applicants, and especially good luck to all applicants who will put in the labor of resubmitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bschaefer Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hey everyone, sorry if i missed this but I was wondering about the length of responses you submitted for each question. I didn’t find a suggested length for the questions - should these be around a page or two? Or shorter? Any help works - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepatMan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 For anyone searching for this kind of information (this year or in future years), I just heard I was put through to the second round today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma432 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hello, I was wondering if anyone who had previously applied might be willing to look over my proposal or to share unsuccessful (or successful would be even better!) proposals with comments? I am in cultural anthropology by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Second-rounder for 2019-2020 cycle - received an email that they are going to 1) delay Round-2 decisions until August 2020, 2) fund an even smaller number of projects, likely those with non face-to-face methods. But they are also going to ask reviewers to "evaluate your proposals in light of the times in which you wrote them." This is strikes me as contradictory. If they're evaluating them that way, why are they delaying it till 08/20? Couldn't they just have evaluated them, decided on funding, and delayed conferring the funding until it's safe to do participant observation? frustrated.
