CurieOS Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So everyone is pretty sure we won’t find out this weekend and the other maintainence notification is just relating to the site changes? Wanted to see if staying up waiting tonight was foolish. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siliconchins Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Friday mornings come and gone, looks like another few days at least of waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayesian1701 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I wouldn’t give up yet. Maybe maintenance is no longer necessary. It could come later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In previous alerts, people were notified during the early morning which is why I'm hesitant that today is the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had real data on chances and release dates to do something. I feel helpless because I can't run the numbers. mars667 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK778 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So desperate I called the applicant help desk to inquire about the release date. They said the NSF has said "early April". RIP MsWagness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinebio444 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Also, good news: the Senate passed the omnibus spending bill. Here's hoping it isn't vetoed. pinkcrystalthumb, grilledcheese1, siliconchins and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinebio444 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It just occurred to me: is it possible that NSF wanted to wait to release the winners until they knew for certain that the appropriations bill would pass? pinkcrystalthumb, anac1 and TK778 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that mean they would wait until this coming Tuesday? Seems kinda strange that they would buck the trend of releasing on Tues/Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that bill affect anything though, like the number of awards? I assumed that would be set by now. Not sure what would make them want to wait. What if the government shut down and they had to push back the release date? It would have been a better decision to release the winners before the bill went to the Senate. 21 minutes ago, YouCantBcereus said: Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll decide to kill two birds with one stone and upload the results during the long maintenance tonight since the bill got signed. They close at 5 pm, so I highly doubt it. Hopefully at the end of next week. Edited March 23, 2018 by grilledcheese1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason or another the bill didn't pass and they had to go through the process again, there's the slight chance that they could cut funds to NSF (unlikely, but this is politics we're talking about). That would have the potential to reduce the number of awards. Also just a theory, take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's OK, I already know i'm definitely not getting it so it wouldn't change how I feel lol. Gotta keep my expectations low!!

GoldenDog Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The bill wouldn't affect the awards going out. There is almost always maintenance during the release, but otherwise y'all are overthinking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
