A week later and prospective applicants are still awaiting the instructions for this year's #NSFGRFP. I checked in with NSF today and was told "I don’t have anything for you at the moment." #GradSchool
"We are so very late that many students will not be able to apply this year."

Seeing that NSF panels are being cancelled. How will this affect the GRFP? I’m sure there will be some impact, similar to NIH panel cancellations leading to some grad programs reducing the number of spots for this year. 🔭🧪

Yesterday we celebrated @mitdeptofbe.bsky.social PhD student Brian Cho, who received an honorable mention in this year's #NSFGRFP competition. Brian's work promises to shed new light on the adaptive immune response to glycans and glycoproteins. Congratulations! 🍾

Somehow missed that NSFGRFP will no longer consider clinical psychology students (regardless of the focus of the project?).
Any recommendations for alternative funding mechanisms for post-bacc and early doctoral students? Want to create a list for our postbaccs and PhD students

I’m feeling so ecstatic about this accomplishment but I have not received any offers from the clinical psych PhD programs that I applied to. If you or someone you know has a spot for a student interested in neuroimaging and neurodev disorders let’s pls chat #NSFGRFP
