longer processing periods
Due to the introduction of a new database system and high application rates we
shall unfortunately need more time than usual to process your application for a
fellowship/your nomination for an award. Therefore,
at present, you must assume it will take up to ten months before you receive a
decision. We are very sorry about this delay and sincerely hope
that we shall be able to revert to the usual processing period of six months at
the earliest opportunity.
