It would've been really surprising had they responded, "Yep, looks like the results will be out on ______".

I don't think anyone expected that, but they could have said "mid-April" if the weather/shutdowns were as significant as other people had speculated.

Starting to feel like I'm Charlie Brown and the NSF notification people are Lucy pulling the football away every time! Fingers crossed that results will be out soon.

For what it's worth, I had also emailed NSF a few days ago and they responded with the exact same message about early April, word for word; I really believe it's their stock cut-and-paste response that they use every year, including past years when results have been posted mid-to-late March.

Where are y'all seeing these availability/maintenance posts? I swear I just saw one about Tuesday the 27th but I can't seem to find it again

Hi everyone. New here, but I’ve been following this post a great deal. The waiting game is torture. 

I talked to my mentor about this.. apperantly they do the same thing (give vague dates) for all the awards they give... This might be the first of many waiting periods we will suffer through.

Seems pretty unlikely at this point, especially since there's an alternative explanation for the maintenance announcement with the upcoming changes.

Ugh I just want it to be tomorrow morning so badly! These past couple of night the  anxiety about GRFP results have seeped into my dreams!

Mine too :( I kept waking up last night with nightmares about the GRFP and every time i'd go back to sleep, i'd get another nightmare about it...

Well, it looks like it's going to be another long weekend.

9:00 Eastern and no announcement on fastlane...yay for more waiting!!!  :angry:  Another week of not being productive at all while anxiously waiting for my impending rejection.

I seriously do not know what I would do without this thread. you guys are awesome

The GRFP threads here are amazing. For three straight years, I stayed up all night when fastlane went down and read through the growing conversation on the current GRFP thread. I didn't plan on sleeping those nights anyway.

Have the results ever been posted without a maintenance announcement preceding them?

Not that I know of.  Looks like we're looking at a release next week or the week after most likely.  Hopefully before Easter.

Such confidence in your app this year, huh?

I don’t know.  If I am competing only with senior undergraduate statisticians I have a reasonable chance because I think have more research experience than most of the people in that group.  But if there aren’t field quotas my odds aren’t good.  

I really hope it’s tomorrow so that I can say  I predicted the release date and I can stop worrying about it.
