It definitely seems they’re uploading things gradually. I got the award but my profile didn’t change until this morning, even though some people seemed to find out at midnight or overnight 

Oh Yes. That makes sense. It was definitely education. My midnight brain isn't working well.

Woah. Incredible indeed. Never in a million years I saw this happening. Never. So so thankful. 

I stay up for bit longer- can't even sleep hahaha 

That is true. The process is important and the more we write grant applications, the better we get at it. And we should all know that regardless of the results, our researches are valuable to us and there is absolutely no objectivity in the process  & as much as they try to be "fair" , there is a bit of luck involved as well. Even though, I don't really believe in luck, I think who reads the applications affects the results.

slightly over 24 hours..Best of luck to everyone! Remember, at the end of the day these awards are quite arbitrary– selection processes are almost impossible to be objectively characterized and its all about the committee as well as the pool of applicants each year. I guess we are all in certain fields in which we will continue to apply for grants in our careers, some of which will go through and some of which will not! If we get it, great. If not, we will only write better grants next year. Now I need my bottle of wine!  

indeed, quarantine and waiting do not go well together!  

Oh well. It seems that each funding agency in Canada has a particular way of distribution, which compared to the US for instance, in many ways functions very well. However, in other ways it lets down the applicants. I hope everyone is managing to keep a healthy level of sanity and serenity these days!

You will be able to access the results when you log in. Go to the 'mes formulaires' where your application is. On the right side, the last column is 'documents attaches par l'organisme'. Right now it says visualiser, but you can't click on it. When your results are ready, the visualiser will become a link leading you to your letter!

I am literally storming heaven ??

That is good to know. I had speculated that perhaps the meetings have happened before the crisis unfolded. I am also an international doctoral student, with 3 exhibitions postponed and cancelled artist's fees, thus an unprecedented financial strain for my studies. Praying for this. 

I was discussing this with a friend last night and I believe FRQSC confirmed that all the selection committees already met before this whole crisis started and they will proceed as normal. Consequently I think that, for better or for worse, we will get the news by the end of the month. As an international doctoral student with no other funding and whose paid summer plans were ruined by coronavirus I really hope this works out! ?

Here is a link to a news release on scholarships and grants (although it's in French). From what I understand, the board is having a virtual meeting the second week of April to make decisions on awards from recent competitions. The news release is for researchers, so I hope that includes us!  The results for SSHRC doctoral  is proceeding as planned, so I'm trying to be optimistic that FRQSC is as well.

To be honest I'm wondering whether the results won't be delayed given the Coronavirus crisis...
