Not sure about institution. I am taking mine to Estonia, so it is might just be a random draw.

We received ours on committee 1 - I am funded. Kind of shocked it happened but super grateful. Good luck to everyone else!

I somehow managed to log into Extranet (forgot I actually had an account - had the SSHRC COVID extension) - nothing has been uploaded for me.

I haven't received anything on this yet either. Glad to know I am not the only one.

The e-mails seem to be for those of us without Extranet accounts - it mentions that we will receive instructions on how to activate them shortly. I wouldn't worry, results will be coming to us all (and good luck everyone!)

It seems like they are going out in waves - I got mine only a few minutes ago.

Ok good to know. Hope to see something like that soon as well (I don't have an extranet account either).

Out of curiosity, was this a response to an e-mail you sent them, or an automated e-mail you received?

I didn't receive an e-mail either, so I am glad I am not the only one. Here's hoping we hear this week!

It would involve more education, but given how big Data Science is as a field right now, doing a 2 year MA (combined with my work experience which should help me) isn't such a bad trade off if I don't get a SSHRC at this point. I won't be giving up academia, just making a shift if that happens. Here's hoping we hear something in the next week or two!

This is the big question I am sure is on all of our minds right now. I actually work in educational technology for my university while I am finishing my PhD, and I am pretty lucky in that there will be a permanent position there if I want it. That's a big if. While the field is interesting, my PhD has nothing to do with it and I would much rather get the post-doc and continue on. Also thinking of perhaps making a move into another discipline (Data Science) at a German university if this doesn't pan out. But it's all up in the air until SSHRC results come in.

Glad to see some updates here - a bit nervous and kinda can't believe that it is almost here. I hope this isn't too nosy of a question, but I am curious where people will be taking their post-docs if they are successful? Best of luck to you all!

Good luck to you both! I know we are still a month and a half away from knowing anything, but here's hoping!

Bit of a random question. I initially applied with one school in mind and was accepted, but turned down their offer to go to another school. Is there anything I need to submit to SSHRC to let them know that I am taking my funding elsewhere? The original school sent me a bunch of random emails even though I turned down their offer months ago.

To those waiting in Montreal - received my letter this afternoon. Good luck to all those who are still waiting!
