DOE 2011

[Alice]

Has the DOE fellowship been canceled for 2011? Their website still says to stay tuned for the 2011 application, but it isn't up even though it's supposed to be due at the end of November. Does anybody know if they'll still be offering fellowships this year?

As I understand it, the DOE fellowship was largely paid for by stimulus funds, and last year they overspent. This year they're still planning to give out fellowships, but significantly fewer than last year. No word yet on when the application, deadlines, etc will be posted.

I don't think anyone really knows for sure yet, though.
