Unrelated to NSF CAREER, did anyone else apply for AFOSR YIP?  Any ideas when that will be announced?

Where did you find the panel dates? Did you look at https://www.nsf.gov/events/advisory.jsp and then see which one will be hosted by your cognizant PD? Thanks!

It means only two months are given to the reviewers for writing the reviews. Really fast.

My status is still pending with status date of 8/12 (one day after submission). Does this mean that it has not been assigned to PD yet? But others will have their panel soon. So it seems that different programs have quite big differences in timelines?

Pending does not mean it hasn't been assigned to a PD.

You can check on research.gov the PD that has the proposal by clicking the submit new proposal, view submitted proposal, and clicking on the title.

You can then check the meeting schedule to estimate when your CAREER panel is meeting.

Where is the meeting schedule? Is it available somewhere?

If you know your PD you can get a rough estimate of when they're meeting.
And before anyone asks, no the schedule doesn't explicitly say which solicitation they're meeting to discuss.
Sometimes if you follow PDs on social media where they might throw out an NSF reference here and there you can tell what's going on. There was a posting by a PD just the other day reminding reviewers of CAREER proposals that they are reviewing applications for "early career faculty".

By looking up that PD on the events schedule, I can get a rough read on when their CAREER panel would like be occurring since it's unlikely that a PD would mention the CAREER process if they hadn't been getting pinged by panel reviewers about the proposals.
