Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
That is my guess. Otherwise, why would they take so long to send out notificationd after people start getting entered? It is the only thing that makes sense.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Follow up the earlier question about seeing the new error message and receiving an interview. I had an interview and they said that they made me their top choice for recommendation.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
No one has received that call. I was interviewed by 5 SF's, at least one recommended me although I'm very hopeful about another, and I'm still getting the incorrect username and pw errorGuest wrote:Do we assume then they're going down some sort of list in some order and they may announce next week? But those who are incorrect username/password still have time to be entered?Guest wrote:Yes, we can. Applications appear to be open for everyone, nor do I anticipate that changing. Right now, they seem to be entering recipients into the award portal, which is entirely separate from the application portal. Historically speaking, the applications shouldn't be touched until they are deleted en masse at the end of this entire process.Guest wrote:Question to those getting that the portal is closed, can you still log into your original applications? As someone getting the incorrect username/password I can still see my initial application and change contact information.
Has anyone received the follow-up phone calls about multiple offers?
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
I don't if this helps sort something out but may be we could figure out if there is a list by giving our initials and what message we are getting.
I am getting: incorrect usr/pass
Initials: S.E.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Perhaps they have added people who only got recommended by one facility, and have yet to call those who have multiple recommendations.
If it helps:
Message: portal temporarily closed
Initials: SFK

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Has anyone with the 'username or password incorrect' tried going through the 'I cannot access my account' process?
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
I don't think that'll help. Not every account will be migrated to the awards site.
I had 4 interviews -- 2/3 recommendations
"Temp closed" message on awards site.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Sorry rookie question when you guys refer to SF what does that mean?
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
No problem :)
It means Sponsoring Facility. The sponsoring facility is the place that interviews you and possibly even recommends you for the award.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Great thanks! I had an interview and thought it went well. I have a "temporary closed" notification. It was for the airforce.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
I don't think this means anything. Seems like everyone is getting it.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
There have been, as a user mentioned above, telegraphing errors before where people who got different login messages based on if they received the award or not.Guest wrote:I don't think this means anything. Seems like everyone is getting it.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Additionally, this is only first round awards. I am sure there will be additional rounds as awards are accepted/declined.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Can you guys reset your password for the award portal? I receive an error message when I try to reset my password.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
I tried to reset my password in the application and it is fine but the award portal has some error message.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
I don't get an error. The awards page sent me an email.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
About 1/3 of us are getting the incorrect login error. About 2/3s of us are getting that the portal is closed. There was a post here a while back that said about 2/3s of those interviewed made it the final stage.
I think this is the real deal, and if you are getting that error message you got the award.

Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
It's good that the DoD got more funding because SMART is going to have to hire more employees for all the phone calls they'll have Monday morning.
Re: Award Portal Temporarily Closed
Not quite. 2/3 of those *recommended* get the award, not 2/3 of those interviewed. The reason that about 2/3 of people posting here are getting that the portal is closed is because of selection bias. First, people more dedicated and invested in this program are more likely to win the award, and they are also more likely to look at and post on this forum. Secondly, you are more likely to post if you think you won the award than if you're getting incorrect login and think you might not have gotten it. Everyone wants to share successes. Nobody really likes to share failures, even anonymously. In short, the data we are seeing here is by no means a random sample representative of the entire population of finalists.Tacos123 wrote:About 1/3 of us are getting the incorrect login error.
