SMF1016

Yes, I applied for SSHRC and my letter came from SSHRC - they stated that my proposal was health-related and so I couldn't be included in their competition. They advised me to apply for CIHR next year because they fund health-related research.

No, I applied through my university and was sent on to the national competition. Yes, I applied for PhD funding.

My letter came in the mail yesterday. It was a rejection because they feel that my topic is too health-related. Apparently I need to apply to CIHR next year. But I wanted to post to let you guys know to check your mailboxes... The post-mark on my envelope was March 28 though - so maybe they send out the disqualified applicant's letters first...?
