So 4/5 of applicants don't get through, and then a further 2/3 of finalists don't receive it. 2/18: A friend of mine in history got this fellowship. x2. Digging through the archives it seems like acceptances and rejections are released around last week of April and first week of May, but some people don't hear back until much later. A diversity of institutions, projects, methods, and backgrounds would be quite welcome. 1/21 Sorry for getting antsy but has anyone heard anything?

(2/4). (And for us all to hear soon one way or another!). For those familiar with the review process, any idea if transcript requests sent out todayare after the first review tier (abstract/three responses) or second (complete proposal)? Former grantee here as well - I found out the decision in September of my year and can confirm the point system described above. I have another offer that I can accept with another grant, but I don't know if the CMA allows for any funding in addition to their grant.

I did think it was strange to say that results will be available 1-2 weeks after the review without saying when the review was taking place. In other words, are you out of the running if you don't get the form request? Really hoping for this week either way, as I have to finalize budgets for fieldwork asap. ^Yeah, my guess is acceptances are already out, and we're all rejections? What would guarantee a rejection is that getting a transcript request is necessary for moving to the next round. 2/2 Interviews are being held late this week. (5/9) Maybe? In 2013, Narges Bajoghli was awarded the SSRCs International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) to conduct her PhD research in Iran. ^ Yes I can confirm this - emailed them and they said that they had delays due to Covid.

The winners of the Rachel Tanur Memorial Prize for Visual Sociology explain the meanings and inspiration behind their submission and the connection to Rachel Tanur's legacy. 1/27: Nothing here yet. If that were the case, I think someone on here would have posted that they won an award. One reviewer provided thoughtful feedback. The Mellon foundation has stopped funding the program. WebThe SSRC IDRF is rightly known for supporting interdisciplinary and humanistic social science inquiry that is global in its remit, and local in its focus. Unless you need to know for other funding sources (teaching, other fellowships), I would say that it's worth waiting (for the sake of whoever the administrative assistant is) until mid-April (e.g., 4/19) to call/email.

Congratulations! I also got a transcript request and "finalist status." I assume everyone who gets the request has that status? The evaluation step 5/26 has anyone heard back from them directly? So if not this year, maybe next year! I assume this year will follow same trend? (Told myself July) Some other grants allow you to accept multiple ones as long as you aren't double-dipping, like if you got Mellon ACLS and Fulbright you could accept both so long as you didn't use money to pay for the same things (i.e., divide into housing, research, travel, expenses.) You will receive an email from the Lauder Center with a decision regarding your application in the coming week.. 3/22 9:16am EST - Received email to check review result.

Has anyone heard about Wyeth? 3/13: Sorry to hear that you didn't get it. My "review result" link is still there, but the language has changed a little bit.

The website states: " applicants will be contacted by the program via email about their status in February 2021." 2/9 Any updates?? Application open, check internal deadlines. Will keep this space updated. 2/2 Just heard that I was an alternate. 940 applicants this year. Im so antsy as well. Mine says last edited May 1 when I click on preview and it didn't before.

Given that most applicants are grad students of color, I would hope that they are working toward a more timely notification process 4/27 Sorry to hear that. The remaining 73 proposals were considered by a separate panel. Still nothing so far. I called a few weeks ago and found out that there were 85 applicants this year (I'm not sure how many awards there will be though). Other proposals that focus predominantly or exclusively on the United States are not eligible. So I would say that you definitely won't hear before June and will likely not hear until after. 2/2 Yep. In past years I know they have done interviews so it's strange that some of us haven't heard either way. Congratulations to the finalists. (Update for posterity's sake: letter of award received 3/24), 1/26: First-round Chvez interviews in progress. ^^A rumor I heard was that there are about ~200 finalists, and then ~60 are receipients. 02/10.

She won the Society of the History of Technology's (SHOT) Joan Cahalin Robinson Prize (2022) for her paper-presentation of Digital Databases: Colonial Legacies Reinscribed in Technologies..

I know we probably won't hear til March, but a boy can dream 2/10 The thing that formerly said "SIFP" on my app in the SOLAA portal has now been updated to "SAAM" -- anyone else? Oy vey, weve been forgotten! x3. Well see if they respond. 4/28: Any cultural anth hear back yet or know when we might? Eligibility will be at the discretion of the IDRF program, depending on completed research time and funding. To clarify, did you apply for the one year research grant or a short term ^Not me, friend. Feb. 15 for grad students, March 15 for undergrads. Anyone else see this? So I would presume we may hear anytime now, since the intent form went out much earlier this year. Finally! I was pretty sure that after getting the intent form we wouldn't have to wait too long, but that doesn't seem to be the case (8/21) I applied a few years back (pre-COVID) and we filled out the intent form in early August (around the 10th) and heard the results on October 1. Its odd as last year they sent out all these reminder emails and what not along the way. 5/24 I heard from my fellowships office that successful applicants got word late last week.

And if the review panels are in April, when are the final results released? Ahh ok, I applied for the dissertation completion fellowship as well. I was told the committee meets in April and applicants won't hear back until then. Thanks for telling us. 2/26: only two of us out there? Not sure how Graham is though, but I know like Ford and some of the Mellon ones only allow you to accept one, and no teaching or other grad assistantship concurrently. If you are awarded a Carter Manny Award, we are flexible with respect to simultaneously holding other awards. =/. Fingers crossed for an update soon! 2/23 ^ I'm waiting too. 1/26 Anyone tried calling or emailing to see if they would share anything about the process? Im gonna email them for the comments. Were they only sent to PIs?

None for me, but last time that was a major clue in advance. --Just wondering if anyone out there knows some stats on this fellowship, like how many have applied in the past, and how many awards are granted ---This year it looks like they will offer approximately 36 diss and 70 predoc fellowships. It was good to have you for all these years. 3/11: I just checked the portal by chance and my status changed from "application submitted" to "selection made." I haven't heard anything (applied to both Lauder and History of Art and VC). I guess we shouldn't expect anything until the end of the month or September? 1/21 Have not heard anything.

In celebration, The International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) Photo Competition is offered every year to IDRF recipients. 4/14: For posterity - I received the fellowship and nothing changed on my portal to indicate this. Good luck everyone! It sounds like offers went out already, I'm not sure why I haven't received a rejection yet. WebThe IDRF program is open to graduate students in the humanities and social sciencesregardless of citizenshipenrolled in PhD programs in the United States. Still no news about finalist or rejection status on the portal or over email for me. 3/8: OP here, sorry for the confusion. I had to ask my advisors to mail sealed letters of rec to my address way in advance; is this what everyone else did too? Either way, please keep us posted tomorrow (and I will do the same)!

Anyone get alternate status? Got a transcript request email and when I followed the link, the "round" changed to finalist submission. Wonder whether I stand a chance this year since they've reduced the fellowships to a handful of CA universities?! Are any of you reapplying this year? Good luck everyone! My Lauder application is still listed as "under review" on the portal. Apparently, it meant that the candidate was ranked highly in the first round of evaluation. my (hopefully just pessimistic) guess is that the person who wrote they received a rejection already accidentally posted under the wrong application section?? The Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) offers six to twelve months of support to graduate students in the humanities and humanistic The email announcing the award was titled "International Dissertation Research Fellowship" and the first line of the email was "Congratulations!" ^^^ (6/30) My project director also mentioned that in the past, this also means that announcements will be soon to follow - perhaps we will hear before the end of July?

I'm hoping that was just a pandemic-related delay and not the new norm. ), 6/17 - Called HFG early afternoon to ask about decision announcements, was told they "should go out next week." It's a slog for sure. Request for transcripts received at 12:07pm ET on 2/5 (and on 2/4 my portal displayed "Finalist Submission" under the tab "Needs Attention," as others have reported).
