Frax22 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Got accepted for the Netherlands! Congrats to everyone else who is hearing the news!
Levon3 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Has anyone here successfully submitted an NSF INTERN application? I would love to pick your brain if so!

CrystalGG Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 I found out today I am approved to go to the Netherlands. I hope they'll be able to help quickly get a work Visa--I hoped to go in August

I got an email from NSF and my fastlane status now says "approved." However, I've been in close contact with my host PI this last week- evidently, Universities Australia (the Australian partner agency) didn't have funding for me, so my host PI had to promise some funds of her own for my living expenses before they could approve it. You should maybe get in touch with your host PI and see if he/she has been contacted at all. Fingers crossed for you!!! Edited May 30, 2018 by BOGR_20 chaparral 1

I’ve been cautiously optimistic this whole time because I volunteered to stay on tenure this next year. (Thus no living expense money required, the way I see it. All I need is the travel funds for a plane ticket.) but thanks for the response! This whole process has been a bit of an enigma to me and any insight is really helpful ?
jnieb Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I was also worried about whether host funding played a role in getting approved--I decided to go "on reserve" in effort to extend my duration of external funding (/save other external grant money). If staying on tenure mattered for being approved, it seems we should be able to change status after May 1 if needed. Haven't heard anything yet, but fingers crossed.
BOGR_20 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I also decided to stay on tenure this year- it was a hard decision to make without knowing the outcome of this award.... Because of that, my host PI is just supplementing my GRFP stipend to help cover 2 rents for several months (at home & abroad). She is not providing an entire living stipend- I think that helped. I agree that this entire process has been confusing with a severe lack of communication. I think you should definitely see if your host PI has heard anything, though. Good luck!!! chaparral 1
jnieb Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Approved for Netherlands ("on reserve for AY18-19")! Thanks to everybody here for the info over the past several months. chaparral and CrystalGG 2
lexie6395 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Hello All! Congratulations to those awarded GROW fellowships. I am interested in applying for Mexico this upcoming year! It would be super helpful if anybody had examples of successful applications or had some pointers or tips on how to apply! I am a geosciences-marine bio fellow but I think applications from any discipline would be helpful! Thanks!
GRFP Fellow Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Does anyone have an inside scoop on if the GROW 2018-2019 application will be up for this cycle? It's already a few weeks into the previous cycle, and still unable to start an application...
