Do you happen to know of any committees that aren't too competitive? I am an electrical engineer; my research proposal assessed climate change's impact on road infrastructure, which is why I submitted it to the civil engineering committee. However, perhaps I should have submitted in the field of data science, but I couldn't find it in some of the committee selection options.

Thank you so much for the advice. One thing you mentioned above is the committee that is assessing my application. When you say CV/ML, what are you referring to? This year, I submitted my application for the civil engineering committee but was rejected.

Does anyone here have a successful NSERC CGS-D or PGS-D application that they'd be willing to share? My application this year was unsuccessful, but I plan to apply again in October. Any insight or suggestions for next year's application will be much appreciated. If you are not comfortable sharing it on the forum, please message me privately. Also, if sharing personal information is an issue for you, you are welcome to delete the pages that display your personal contact information.

I assume you also got the email and were sent to an external website so you can log in and see the results.

Based on your experience last year, did they send out the successful applications first? Also, when did you provide the results notification date-wise?

I know the monetary amount for the CGS-D and PGS-D is the same. However, the CGS-D is restricted to students pursuing their graduate studies at a Canadian post-secondary institution, while the PGS-D does not have this restriction. Therefore, if your university nominated you for the NSERC scholarship, you will likely be nominated for the CGS-D. Perhaps the CGS-D provides the decisions slightly before the PGS-D, as they must first inform the university of the decision. This is why some people in their forum have said they heard from their university that they received the CGS-D scholarship, but have not received the official email from NSERC. Also, I think even if you were to be rejected by NSERC for CGS-D or PGS-D, you will be given an official notification.

So far, all the posts I have read in this forum are from applicants who got their results for the NSERC CGS-D (Canada Graduate Scholarships - Doctoral program). Has anyone heard from the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships – Doctoral (PGS D) program?
