Anyone else notice any change in their application status on the online form?...I logged in and clicked print on view application tab and application of status had been filled in?

Mine says "award holder"- dunno what to make of it. Application status on the main page of submitted applications says the same. Find it highly unlikely they would have assessed it this quick

Does anyone know when the results are out? I think I recall it being June, but I can't find a date anywhere on the website!

Caillte

I was under the impression it was July/August.

I heard July, but probably August! I get wee butterflies every time I think of my poor little proposal, off getting slated by a panel of academics!

My first one just got accepted. Some of the reviewer comments make you feel very small.

I got an email notification re activity in this thread and I lept over here as fast as the net would take me in case of movement ;-). Cannae take the waiting AT ALL!

Ravelleman

Life goes on, I suppose! I've been worrying about a formatting mistake I made at one point in my proposal. Nothing to disqualify me by any means but slightly careless on my part. Sigh. Oh well, I can't worry about it too much.

BumblebeeGirl

So when do you guys guess the results will be announced?

Id say end of July/August seeing as its different every year Doesn't give much time to start in September!

Sorry- forgot the effect it might have!


Online system says my app was last "modified" on the 29/4. so I'm guessing it might still be july- I'd imagine its an efficient process once they get going.

Waiting is agony though:mad:

Ravellman - I found one or two tiny things when I went back to look at my proposal for a conference abstract I was preparing - vay frustrating!!

moranr7

Guys I ws talking to someone involved in this and they said it should be end of june/ early july! fingers crossed !!!

Ravelleman

Yep, that tends to be the time time they aim for every year, although it has been delayed upon occasion.

Caillte

Just found out that my first paper was accepted Delighted!

Baldlydrawnboy

Congrats, Caillte! Great news!

And I f**king hate waiting...

cailleach an airgid

Congrats Caillte - I've always found my ideas develop at conference from the questions etc that people ask - it's a big deal, so enjoy!

My ethics passed with minor adjustments last week - such a relief!

Who Knows?

I was in touch with the IRC regarding the postdoc awards. They informed me that results would be announced around the end of July. I took that to mean first week of August (...Irish time :-) ).

Anyway, I would propose that results ought to be release to applicants when an application passes each review stage. The IRC online system provides very little information regarding the status of the application. For example, the online system should indicate that the application has reached stage x of x rather than allowing all applicants to live in anticipation for months. If it didn't pass a certain phase - at least we would know and give us time to grieve (lol) and move onto 'Plan B'.

Just my thoughts.

For the Postgraduate applicants, I just checked whether there was any mention of feedback dates on the applicants guidelines: http://www.irchss.ie/sites/default/files/pg_13_guideforapplicants.pdf

Page 11 - Notification& Feedback:



"Applicants will be informed of the assessment result and outcome once the assessment is complete by email and letter of the outcome of the evaluation process by August 2013"

:eek::(

lfqnic

It is hard to tell by the wording, but maybe they mean the detailed feedback rather than the simple yes/no? I think the two are done separately. The email I got - I'm applying for a postgrad, not a postdoc btw - said "the results of the assessment for this call are provisionally expected in July 2013."

Every time this thread is updated my heart is in my mouth. At this stage I don't care whether I get it or not, I just want to know!

Yeah, we should maybe stop torturing each other, I don't think we'll hear anything for at least a few weeks, frustratingly.
