Say U of T was (for example) given a quota of 100 SSHRC awards this year. The school then selected their top 200 applications and forwarded them to SSHRC for adjudication, after which SSHRC’s top-ranked 100 U of T applications get the awards. I thought there weren't any quotas for doctoral bursaries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I thought that if there were any quotas at the doctoral level, they were for the number of applications forwarded, not received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right! My mistake. There are quotas but they are just for nominations by the institution. I was going by a comment from my supervisor that of the number that get nominated by the university, 50% are successful. I took that to mean what I said a few posts ago, but my supervisor might have been making an off-the-cuff estimate, or maybe those are the stats that U of T finds on average.

elodie Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 You can see how many doctoral SSHRCs were awarded to your specific institution last year, and any given competition year, here: https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results-resultats/stats-statistiques/index-eng.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolute torture. ? at least by being sent out digitally, we don't have to wait for the letters to travel unevenly across the country. We should all know pretty much at the same time (Assuming the site doesn't crash ?) Do we know how quick it was for the NSERC applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjalava Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I was following the NSERC thread religiously and most of them got the extranet information on April 15 and then most got their results on April 16. Maybe we will be getting our accounts today and then the results tomorrow? I feel like they design this to be the most drawn out torturous process that they possibly can lol.

psychstudent312 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 They also just tweeted about the new Extranet so hopefully they will get things moving quickly now?

bluesnow Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 My take what might happen next: I had a look at the NSERC thread and they received the Extranet communication by email in the morning of the 15th. Looks like we won't be getting that as it's been publicly announced and we will skip directly to receiving our access details which, going by the NSERC thread, should come this afternoon (NSERC applicants started getting their username/password at 2pm EST).

purrito Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just received this from my school's awards department. This is the information they received from SSHRC: Due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, SSHRC has put in place a new process to communicate results to applicants. This includes a new platform: the SSHRC Extranet for Applicants. This secure site will allow applicants to access the results of their SSHRC funding applications. Applicants will receive, via email, information on how to activate their account on the site. Once the result documents have been uploaded, applicants will receive a subsequent email inviting them to view the results. We will begin rolling the results out in waves beginning tomorrow morning. All results should be available to students by end of day, Friday, May 1st. Hell0 and enoughtea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's what happened for my CGS-M a few years ago... I was too late in telling them which start date I wanted due to illness but they were ok with May 1st nonetheless; I just got the deposit much later than most.
