Hi all, First off, I apologise for being one of those who has made account once they have some good news, but I wanted to share with anyone waiting in the UK that I received my letter from SSHRC today. Hopefully anyone waiting will get someting today or tomorrow. Third time was a charm for me. Does anyone know if its possible to adjust the duration of award without losing a year of it? I've been given four years, but is there precedent for requesting to be paid the award amount over two-three years instead? Im currently finishing up my first year, and have no deisre to remain a PhD student until 2018-2019, so I was hoping they might be willing adjust it so I dont leave money on the table... I only requested 24months funding on application. Best of luck to everyone.
