Got a CIHR CGS-M at u of t and my department includes it as part of my base stipend. 17.5K of my stipend will come from CGS and the rest of it will come from supervisor or department. My department, like some others, give you a top up which means you get a bit more money above your base stipend (kind of a “thanks for saving us some money” award). Not sure what funding is like for other faculties/divisions, but this is the case for Faculty of Medicine Departments for the most part, so there’s a financial incentive along with predictive to get an award.

Does anyone know if successful applicants get to ever (even if after after a couple months from notification/public announcement) find out how they ranked? Specifically wondering if U of T does this, but if anyone from other schools has any insight, would be helpful!

Congrats!

Got offered the CIHR-stream award at U of T and accepted (only school I applied to as I'm a current student). Best of luck to everyone!

I did, currently in grad program

UofT - current student

Also got that update yesterday that results will be available on April 1st - April fool’s day, coincidentally

Thanks! And thanks for this!

Just got recommended on 1 June 2020 via the OGS application portal. Would you be able to explain that the SGS exactly does to ‘confirm’ the award? I thought it was just the department who reviews and adjudicates applications?
