Thanks, Destineer. I'm obviously elated at this news (and so is my girlfriend, as she'll be taking out a loan and joining me if I get it). As for your question, I'm under the impression that 75% of applicants at this stage are accepted as primary candidates and the rest as back-ups, but I am not sure. I will be notified in the last week of January.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I think that I have a strong research proposal, which happens to be what I currently want my dissertation to be on. Here's question for you: If I get it (last week of January, mind you), should I notify universities to which I am applying? If so, then how? Would it make a difference in me getting in? Positively or negatively? Or is it just too late/they don't care?
Edit: And congratulations on the award. I tried reading the article, but even the abstract confused me. Alas, theoretical physics is not my forte--something that I will try to correct during my semester off, not to mention I'm cramming non-classical logics and contemporary theories of reference. It's going to be a busy "break". Perhaps I'll try again after the break and be able to understand your work then.

I don't think it would make a difference one way or another. It's probably a bit like telling them you've been accepted to another grad program.
You should tell programs that have admitted you immediately if/when you're award the Fulbright, because then you'll have to work out an arrangement to defer your admission. I wouldn't say anything about it before then.

Well, I'm not about to discourage anyone from reading my work. But philosophers of physics long ago came to terms with the fact that they were writing for a tiny audience, and even most of their philosophy friends would never read their papers. So, no obligation whatsoever.
