Vanier 2018-2019

For those who did not get it this year, I know how you feel because this was me last year. However, try not to get discouraged, keep productivity up and apply again. My overall score was a 4.5 last time and this year I managed to get it (applied to CIHR both times). Hard to say which funding agency is the most competitive but historically a lot of the CIHR vaniers have gone to the MD/PhDs (I'm not one) at my institution so that may be something to think about.

CIHR here too. Totally forgot about this until today. What helps me is the fact that getting this thing wouldn't make me that much happier in the grand scheme of things. One award can't quantify anyone's self worth. Hang in there, everyone!
