oooh that's real weird that they gave you 3.6 on academic performance but yea everything about academia is super subjective. outside of scholarship apps, I know lab mates whose operating grants got ranked lowest with CIHR but ranked top with other funding agencies and papers rejected at lower impact journals but accepted in "top" journals. Vanier is also subjective too.

if it helps, on my original application i wrote i requested 2 years of funding but I see that in the "Offer of an Award" it says term of 3 years non renewable but i hope i dont take all 3 years to finsih.. does it only say 2 years for you? (Offer of an Award)

im already attending. this is actually my 3rd year of phd, i was a masters student first year and transferred to PhD why? ask your q anyways , i can always ask around to see if they know your answer

i got it too, congrats echob, lets hug it out

yup i know 2 people who had no first author pubs that got it and nope not from uwo but labangel, id be REALLY surprised if you did not get it this year

whoa 2 first author paper and they ranked you 78%?? thats so brute are you from uwo by any chance?

do you guys wanna share your stats? (this is anonymous afterall). The number of awards is less this too year, so i don't think i have a chance last year i applied, i had 1 first author paper and 1 coauthor paper, i was ranked like 36%? this year i applied, i had 2 first author, and 2 coauthor paper, and 2 that were in press? this is my last chance applying too

sounds like you got it! congrats

no need to wait, just check this site to see if your name is on it =( http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/196.html
