Hi all,
First time starting a post on here. Figured I'd make one for us CIHR CGS-D applicants this year as the nominations are starting to get processed and sent to CIHR, so we can all share our time in suspense!
Just had my application "Approved by Research Institution" yesterday, so I imagine the actual sending of the application package to CIHR will take place tomorrow or Monday (deadline for nominations is Monday Nov 22 @ 8PM EST). This is my first time applying, I selected the biomedical research scientific area ("Doctoral Research Awards - A").
Looking at numbers from previous years, seems to be about a 1-in-3 to 1-in-4 chance that the application is selected for funding after making it to the national competition, with at least 250 applications being funded this year. Pretty reasonable odds if you ask me!
Best of luck everyone!
