NSF CAREER Grant UPDATE Thread

[aspiring.academic]

What did you all put as the project start date? I see the latest funded CAREERs in my program all have a start date of 2/1/21. I wonder if the PD works on the ones with early start dates first.

It's largely irrelevant. The start date will be automatically adjusted to the 1st of the following month after the NOA unless otherwise stated.

The status date of my proposal is changed today (after submission, August 8). I already submitted a public abstract 10 days ago. Any comment on the status change?

Last year, after two days of change of status, I received rejection; public abstracted was not requested last year...

Just wait and be patient.

I know being patient is hard but it's really all I can advise you to do.
Take a breather and work on something else to help pass the time.

No news as well.
I think CISE is slower than others. Good luck!

I am happy to read about all of the success stories. For all others, there is nothing more to do than to regroup and try again.

Are there others still waiting for news? Mine has no updates since submission and a couple of awards have already been announced. It could mean that I am in the bubble or that the rejection announcement is moving through the system... hard to tell.

I think you are on the bubble.

I am probably in a similar situation. I contacted the PM and her response was "you were not selected in the first round, but you have not been rejected either". Well, don't want to read the tea leaves, but kind of like "the hope is not totally gone, but almost gone". :(
