Dr. Grace Deitzler @dna-heligrace.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Really disappointed to see that this year's NSF GRFP solicitation excludes second-year grad students (this late in the application cycle too!) I'm a previous recipient and applied in my second year because I did rotations during my first year. This unfairly penalizes rotation students. 010
