Based on recent enquiries, we have experienced significant delays in mail delivery in the past week. We do not know if this is due to weather or other operational delays in postal service. Therefore, to ensure all applications are processed fairly, we will move the deadline for fellowship applications to (paper application received by) March 20, 2008.
