No luck this year.
I scored 13.55 for Committee 1, and was told the "Score of the last application recommended for funding: 13.55." So this is frustrating, as I tied to receive funding, but they gave it to the other person(s) who had the same score as me. The letter also said I was recommended for funding, but not enough funds to give out.
For those interested, I received a 4-year SSHRC for PhD, two book chapters, and one article (all peer-reviewed).
Has anyone heard about someone receiving funding after the initial rejection in a situation like this?
Congratulations to everyone (funded or not!), it was a lot of work and a long wait.
