I think perhaps it might be better to let the SSHRC staff get the letters out... It does sound like they will go out this week, and that some of us will start to get letters by the end of the week. So my inclination is not to call...
But you can check out the current list for the 2010 competition here: www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/site/about-crsh/committees-comites/standard_research-ordinaire_recherche-eng.aspx
Hmmm... that seems to be good news, though we have no idea whether all of these bits of info (press releases, emails) are just stringing us on a little longer. Still, it doesn't hurt to be hopeful. It sounds like the results are ready to be sent out yet, we just don't know how long the results will take to reach us. Anyone know from previous years?
