I received an NSERC PDF offer but was not successful with the Banting.

Congratulations on your award! I heard back from NSERC and you're exactly right, there is some re-scoring that happens during the review meeting. It's still not clear to me why they give us those two original scores if these were not the ones used for the ranking.

I *still* haven't received an email from NSERC about the PDF results even though they were posted > 1 week ago!

Any other applicants? I haven’t heard anything from them and am curious if others have.

Ahhh, I am anxiously awaiting results via NSERC.

Not sure, better question for NSERC.

My understanding is they do not want you to post publicly about it, including on Twitter.

For sure. Just to be clear it's clearly my letter (has my name and address) but there was likely a transcription error.

Appreciate the response! Seems pretty clear that there is a mistake somewhere on my rankings, but that it's likely not systematic. Emailed NSERC and will update the board when I hear back from them.

Indeed this is what I was thinking. What was your overall rank if you don't mind me asking? I am guessing 3? What worries me is that if they made the decision based on my 7/90 ranking, and it's not just a typo, it's possible that some people might have received the wrong outcome. OK, thanks for the sanity check!

I received an award this year, but I think there might have been a mistake in my 'rankings' document. I am in selection committee 169 (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology). My 'research potential' rank was 2, and my 'leadership' rank was 3. But my overall rank in 169 was 7/90. Doesn't seem to add up... but maybe I am missing something.
