My rankings were also inconsistent. I was ranked 2/90 overall in EEB (Committee 169) but 2 for Communication and 8 for Research. It's not entirely clear to me how the overall final rankings are calculated. From NSERC's selection committee guide: 3.7.2 Compilation of scores Once the three reviewers’ initial merit scores have been returned to NSERC, they are compiled and the applications are ranked accordingly. The three reviewers’ scores are averaged and a ranked list is produced. Applications around the funding cut-off line may be discussed at a review meeting. For larger selection committees, a subset of top-ranked applications may be pre- awarded without being discussed. Applications that have been flagged by membersor NSERC staff, for any reason, may also be discussed by the selection committee during the review meeting. 3.7.4 Final scores NSERC applies the relative weighting for each selection criterion and calculates the final score for each application based on the three reviewers’ scores or the scores allocated by the entire selection committee, depending on whether or not the application was discussed at the review meeting. Based on these scores, a final ranked list is produced. The final ranked list consists of up to three parts: pre- awarded applications, applications discussed at the meeting, and those neither pre- awarded nor discussed.
