Congratulations Funhe. Did you get your ranking or score from NSERC before?

This year NSERC is being late in announcing the upgrades (if there is any at all).

COngratulations ! when did you get the news? Was it through postal mail or through email from NSERC?

No one with any upgrade news this year. Well, that is pretty unusual

Well, let us hope for the best. What about you?

I received my ranking as well and I think I do not have any hope of getting any upgradation to CGS-D.

Any update on PGS-D to CGS-D anyone?

Anyone received any update from NSERC about upgrade from PGS-D to CGS-D?

Just received my letter in Kingston. Got a PGS-D, letter dated on the 25th March and posted on the 27th March. Best of luck to all.

Hi Pacific, How did you know where you are in the list below the cutoff for CGS level awards?

I just learned from my department I got NSERC PGS-D.

your school's grad studies is open in the weekends?

Which school do you go to dynasty007?

Anyone from Queen's heard about their PGS D CGS D results?

I probably could not make it this year. I am the CS department, one of my friends who is in the ECE department already heard from her department this morning about her CGS-M success, that means results are sent to the departments. I did not hear anything so far from my department. I hope all of you best of luck on your result!

Any more news from anyone about CGS/PGS results?

Couldn't agree more!

Budget is released. Anyone have any idea how this affected NSERC, if it did at all?

Thanks. Which school do you go to and did you win?

My questions is - all the guys who know their results, were they informed by the departments without enquiring or the department let them know of the result only after they enquired about the results.

Sorry to hear that! I guess they are only contacting the ones who got the award.

WOW! Congrats, hope we all get some sort of good news soon.

If it has any relation to budget date at all, this year we should hear it earlier than last year as the budget will be released tomorrow March 21st. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Very informative post. But I guessed most applicants are aware of the fact that, essentially they have to sell their proposal and for that it has to appear appealing from an application point of view as well. And yes, your way of writing a proposal is I guess one of the best ways to follow. Getting a faculty to look at your proposal is very useful.

The definition of a glowing proposal is still a mystery to me. I mean every applicant knows their proposal should somehow be related to the welfare of Canada and tries to gear it towards that. Then what makes my proposal outstanding is not clear to me.
