My grad student, who got RWR and appealed, got an email from GRFP program today that said "Your application was screened by NSF program officers with expertise in your proposed field of study and was determined to be ineligible according to the solicitation requirements."
No details were given. 😡
Reposting again because according to Reddit threads, another round of RWR emails went out today.
Highly doubt a human read this proposal. Topic is photosynthesis in bromeliads. Not crops. Not health. Not policy adjacent. If it is a legit reason, just say it? This is extremely weird.
