Is it? Thanks! I honestly have no standardized understanding of what the number would mean. Any information regarding that would be great as not a lot of information is provided besides that number.
I would echo the same. In retrospect, although I did a total revamp of my qualitative research proposal (naturalistic observation, focus groups, photovoice) to make it a quantitative research proposal (SEM), the methodology of the study may have been naturally clearer to understand and at the same time, more feasible in their eyes. After learning from my previous unsuccessful attempts, I've learnt, with the support of my supervisor, that this fellowship only needs to fund one of your research projects and can make that one less "outlandish" and more feasible and more "common", so to speak. My other projects were more local, action research, participatory-based which I find is harder to write up for a SSHRC-type application, as opposed to a general structural equation modelling of a similar phenomenon. At least, that's my perspective from my attempts at SSHRC.
