I wouldn't worry too much about not being contacted yet. From what I've read about past years, a lot of SFs do emails and phone calls in March. Also only two semifinalists on this forum have said they've been contacted so far, so if that's any metric I'd say you shouldn't be feeling nervous at this point. Most SMART FAQs just say that 'some SFs do not reach out to applicants they will recommend', but maybe someone who has received an award can touch on that.
