immunity

2nd time applying. Awards Committee A 4.50/4.9 50/418 11.96%

I believe all applicants are split into two committees. Your rank is within one of these committees. With the percent rank, the lower the better.

I'd say it's pretty competitive, but still quite arbitrary. I got waitlisted for the Vanier last year and I only ranked 130/652 in CIHR with very positive comments.

I have not heard anything today either. I am out on the West Coast and I applied last year. I was notified directly by CIHR about my rejection. To my knowledge, the rejections and offers were sent out at roughly the same times. I didn't notice any stark differences when it comes to finding out about results.

I think it was something like 10AM PST.

Mine still says "In Peer Review." We heard back on the 16th last year.

Thank you so much! I was just really luck to be in the right place at the right time! All the best with your applications

This is my first and last chance too...started Sept. 2016 and fast-tracked. I applied to CIHR. Here's to hoping we at least get that one...

Same as me...for one organization I volunteered for 10 years straight and I still got such a low score!

From previous years, it looks like there's a 3% decline rate. So chances are quite slim.

Btw for future applicants. I got waitlisted, ranked 66/183. Scores: Academic excellence: 5.85, Research potential: 6.75, Leadership: 5.75. 12 publications (8 first author), 14 awards, 5 conference abstracts, 5 presentations.

Congratulations!!! I did not get it unfortunately! Oh well...

Super hard. Just burying myself in work and trying not to think about it.

I agree with this! It's also really nice validation for how you're performing in academia.

I agree. But I still have a feeling that they'll end up releasing them a few days after April 4th....
