I have a quick question: I've already applied for SSHRC doctoral awards and I also need to apply for OGS for the same 2019-2020 competition. I wonder whether I can use the same proposal? Thanks! Hello, I have also applied to OGS. I've used the same proposal, but for my uni, the OGS form gave less space to describe my research project.

Adelaide9216 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 I received just a few minutes ago an acknowledgement of receipt by SSHRC for my Doctoral scholarship app.
paperdoorway Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Any direct applicants hear back? I'm a direct applicant studying in the UK. Any mail that comes should be going to my parents' (my permanent) address in Canada - still haven't received anything. Edited January 23, 2019 by paperdoorway

You can have SSHRC deliver their mail to your address in England, just email them.

Actually, I want it to be sent to my parents' house in Canada - my mailbox situation here isn't great and things always get sent to other homes. Just was wondering if any news would've come by now since the address is in Canada as opposed to abroad... but if you haven't heard anything either, guess we'll just have to keep waiting!
kawa49 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I've always altered my OGS proposal from the SSHRC quite a bit for it to fit (and still contain all of the necessary information) within their format!

I was waitlisted last year. And the letter informing me that my application was forwarded to the final competition arrived about mid-February. The wait is infernal.

I am waiting for FRQSC, OGS, Vanier, Trudeau and SSHRC. It’s so long to wait like 8 months for an answer.
anon1234567 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Direct applicant. Forwarded to the finals. Letter dated Feb 19.

smallaxe Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Direct applicant as well, got my letter in NYC today. Forwarded to the national competition! It says a maximum of 236 applications our 521 could be forwarded. Here's to another two months of waiting! ? Adelaide9216 1
paperdoorway Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Direct applicant here - also forwarded! Adelaide9216 1
holyghost Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Direct applicant in California - also just got a letter yesterday that I was forwarded to the national competition! Fingers crossed. Adelaide9216 1
holyghost Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Does anyone know how many people will get it this year? I also read in my letter that a max. of 236 out of 521 could be forwarded to the national competition. When I looked at statistics from the last two years 430 people were given the award per year. Either they have severely reduced the number of awards they are giving this year, or I am misinterpreting something.

Either they have severely reduced the number of awards they are giving this year, or I am misinterpreting something. There are two streams for applications to be considered: direct entry or from a nominating university in Canada. I am guessing the number of 236 is the number of direct entry applicants not screened out at the first stage but rather sent for consideration with those who met the short-list from their own university?
Adelaide9216 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 I don't know if they have reduced the number of awards. That'd be strange because the Minister announced big investments in social sciences a few weeks ago.. http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/news_room-salle_de_presse/latest_news-nouvelles_recentes/2019/talent_idg_announcement-annonce_talent_sds-eng.aspx

Either they have severely reduced the number of awards they are giving this year, or I am misinterpreting something. I agree that it’s probably the number of direct applicants (vs. those applying through a university). My institution alone forwarded has a quota of 50 to forward to the national competition (not even a major university), so there’s no way 236 is the total amount.

holyghost Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 That makes sense! This number is probably referring to either the number of direct applicants (as you suggested) or the number of people being forwarded from the specific selection committee I applied to.
Adelaide9216 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 Does anyone know if results are released in early April or at the end of April?
high_hopes Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I got my results in the mail on May 1st last year. That was also the day I received a confirmation email from my university. Adelaide9216 1
