transboundary

Nice. great info SpaceJump. Thanks for digging.

Ya, I thought it was odd too since my program officer has typically been fairly helpful and transparent. For some reason it seems she's been told not to relay any more info to waitlisters. Either that or their database is down, but I'm under the impression that she'd say so if it was something that simple. As for the "hold", I agree with Canuck that it's probably a variation of the same message...but "hold" does sound a little more strategic and official than what we'd heard previously so you could be right about the budget shuffle. I don't know anything about the inner workings of SSHRC.

This just in from my program officer: "I've been told that they have put a hold on offering more SSHRC awards at this time. Unfortunately, at this time, I am not able to check your status." Weird. What do you think it means? Doesn't sound good, but maybe this is standard?

Mine is Jennie Tomkins, so Michelle's holiday may not mean much but judging by the pace of things so far I'd still bet on mid-Aug.

The SSHRC folks told me on June 15th to send an email in 3-4 weeks for an update. I was planning on waiting until Monday or Tuesday before bugging them again.

hey all...lurker coming out here. you folks have been great! just thought i'd contribute to the waitlist discussion. me: PhD, score: 16.8, 4th on waitlist in my sub-committee. i got this response from SSHRC staff yesterday: "I would recommend sending an email to SSHRC in 3-4 weeks to see if there has been any movement on the waiting list. There is a small possibility that you may receive a grant, we will have a better idea in a couple of weeks." not holding my breath, but there is hope!
