Irish Research Council Postgraduate Funding 2024

In the same boat here, previous years typically find out near the end of the month. Seems like odds are >50% at this stage at least. Are you AHSS or STEM?

Just got word today that I made the reserve list - cue me googling like mad trying to find out what the chances are of getting off the wait list!

I am also on the reserve list of the postdoc Art and Humanities section with 91.5 points. I would be grateful for any comments and explanations about how frequent it is to get the fellowship from the reserve list.

In the same boat here - on the reserve list with 91.5 (postgrad STEM non-EU).

Placed on the reserve list with 0.5 less than the cutoff. What is the chance for success?

Got offer today for STEM postgrad: scored 92, cutoff 85.5. I imagine 0.5 below cutoff is good odds even for non-EU.

Congratulations @doomscroller !!

Thank you! Was a nice bit of reassurance in the midst of exams.

Hi @doomscroller just wondering could you tell us what date you have to accept the offer, just so I have a date in my mind and can ignore the 'check every email' feeling I have on the reserve list at the moment!

By the way, did the email that provided our score mention whether the reserve list was from category 1 or category 2? This question applies to both PG and PDF.

Mine says category 1 - I am AHSS PG

i think there is no such distinction between category 1 and 2 among postdoctoral fellowship applicants.

Thank you @ilturco and @MissBosca for clarifying. BTW the date you asked is most probably May 23 @MissBosca

Thanks @Charioteer!

@MissBosca The final acceptance date is May 12, 4pm, so Monday.

I got word today that I am off the reserve list! thanks everyone for being here through this and being such a source of support!

Many many Congratulations @MissBosca So happy to see you've finally made the cut!

Anyone else come off the reserve list? Could you provide what the approximate score was? I'm 90.5 and I'm not sure if there's any opportunity to come out of the reserve list.

Hey everyone! Just checking in, also lurking around with a 91.5. Any news or updates?

I was on the reserve list of the Art and Humanities section with 91.5 and got a conditional offer letter two weeks ago. They notified that I have three weeks to accept the offer and finalize some administrative staffs.
