BTW, congrats to everyone who received an award! It is an amazing accomplishment! To those who did not receive one, I feel your pain lol and I'm crossing my fingers for all of us next year

Fair point, but my proposal was not technical at all. I have zero background in computing and had no mention of anything technical in my proposal. You can talk about AI without getting into technical details by just explaining how people plan to use the technology (i.e. in healthcare, etc.). And I come from a purely ethical and political background, so I don't think this was the problem for my application. Ah well, hopefully I can improve for next year.

I think this is a fair point and I agree. Philosophy has changed a lot. I do wonder if more traditional philosophical approaches (like working with the cannon) are prioritized (even subconsciously) with a committee like that. Anyway, I accept my loss, I just feel a bit discouraged by the organization of the committees.

Same boat as you. I went with committee 2A with a proposal on AI ethics and did not receive funding. I also felt stifled by the committee choices but had to choose philosophy. Feeling pretty crushed right now 😕

People on the CIHR forum seem to be saying they didn’t get their results so 😕

Different question: is the extranet back up now from when it was closed down for maintenance? I'm wondering if it's even possible to get the results today. I am also desperately hoping that my jaw will be able to unclench itself sooner than later lol edit: I'm asking because I can't access the extranet yet -- first time applicant

Thanks to those who shared helpful information! Just to clarify, has no one received an email about the extranet? From what I gather here the process can change from year to year, but I haven’t yet received anything except the initial confirmation of receiving my application (after it went on to the national level). I seem to be unable to do anything but refresh my inbox lol

has anyone had a status change from York U? the nervousness is so intense only two days before the results are announced!
