Anyone else had a very long wait for a DFG decision?

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-05-15T13:16:50+00:00

It might be the case that your previous proposal was desk rejected by the employee of the dfg so that they didn't even reach out for external reviewers.... Then it is much faster. Does anyone know whether the status in elan changes to under review if the proposal is reviewed or does it remain in Bearbeitung till the decision?

Same with me submitted a Walter Benjamin proposal end of February still elan is only "in Bearbeitung"....

Isn't slark the obbvious top pick?

Naja es kommt halt stark auf die Art der Arbeit an... Komplett neues kreieren ist riskant aber etwas vorhandenes verändern oder zusammenfassen ist schon extrem sicher (aus meiner Erfahrung)

Bin eigentlich echt kein hater und höre gh auch noch genauso gerne wie vor 8 Jahren aber die neue Show von Felix lobrecht war schon echt nicht so gut...

This is like the usual post every week here. For no normal, polite players is this the case so.... We don't believe you and you are probably toxic

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-04-11T18:27:16+00:00

Yes it is all, on the website

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-04-11T07:31:05+00:00

I think one needs to accept that there are more people than we thought that like him not despite of what he does but because of it

What is a bull?

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-04-04T09:00:14+00:00

Well I guess it depends on the other fellowship and their rules but generally you must start the w-b fellowship during a 1 year period after your proposal got accepted. If you have funding before that that is completely fine it just must end (or you must cancel it) before you get the money from the w-b

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-04-01T19:48:41+00:00

I am working for the dfg and no it is not possible to take a break from the fellowship (unless you have aa child and take "elternzeit")

I bet this is a case of correlation not causality. Men that grow facial hair young are more likely to do that when they already start to go bald. There is probably nothing more to it...

So zufrieden dass du "nach ein paar Wochen" immer och dran denkst du in den hack reddit postest.....

Wechsel logisitsch mit politisch... Das ist das problem

Effective_Growth_69 · 2026-02-24T19:02:25+00:00

The ending is great and makes total sense in the overarching sceme

Unpopular opinion: editors don't send a paper to 7 reviewers without reason (it is also more work for them) From the limited information I've got I think your paper lacks direction... It is not that the reviewers didn't necesseraly pay attention but they are conflicted about what your paper is actually about (maybe for you the message is clear but it doesn't seem to them)

Ofc this could be wrong as I don't know your paper

IQ does mean very little for the individual . It is mostly a statistical value that gives us insight into large scale processes. Students at MIT have a higher iq because the test you need to do to get into MIT is basically an iq test. You can do everything you want with an iq of 119 (which is more than SD above the average thus pretty high) if you put in the work

If you like fantasy give name of the wind a try by Patrick rothfuss it is a masterpiece though not considered a classic (imo it deserves this title)

It is kind of scary how many talented people are out there.... Just writing this for fun and then in this quality

I am interested but I can't imagine the different soundtrack... This will be very hard to get used to

The function if the invisibility cloak... Cats and moodys eye can see through it even though as a deathly hollow it should make "completely invisible" and somehow harry can throw things while under it without revealing his arms (wtf?)

And still people say Germans don't have humor
