Now do the same for the postdoc ones: K01, K99, and F99. My postdocs grant is still “unassigned”.
We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn.
Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky
