SSHRC Doctoral 2019-2020

[thebestembee]

At 12:55 PM EST, I received two emails from the SSHRC: one with a link to the new Extranet, and the second with a password that they generated. They emphasized that another email would be sent out when results are ready; hopefully, soon!

Yay! I wonder if they have a system for sending out these links. Is it by university? by province? by results? eeeeeeeeeek.

Yes, so many questions.  Successful first? In order of application?  By field?  So many tea leaves to read!  I guess we’ll just have to try to be patient and not jump to conclusions.  Not long now!

 I guess this means the May 1st start date for funding won't happen.

I believe they will back date funding if you selected May 1.

I was following the NSERC when they received their results (just in case ours would be the same) and it seems like the initial email was by last name and the results email was by committee.  I'm not sure if it'll be the same for us, but if it's like NSERC, we should receive the email for links today. Fingers crossed!

I can confirm that my last name is at the top of the alphabet but no SSHRC emails yet for me! Wow the suspense is really hitting me now. I don't believe they would ever send to winners etc first, I'm sure they are following some sort of list/committee.

[Still_Waiting]

My extranet e-mail just arrived. For the curious, my last name begins with 'R.'

[abstraction9093]

I received an email from SSHRC to set up access to the Extranet portal thing. My last name begins with "R" and I am a direct applicant. 

I really hope I get it, but if not, I'll try again next year. I'll be bummed out, but I got in to my dream PhD program, so getting SSHRC will be a bonus right now.

Maybe they are doing direct applications first then? I am an L and committee 4. Nothing yet.

I received the SSHRC set up info for the Extranet portal this afternoon at 1:26PM. Gave me a start. As noted by others, the portal has no results yet and another email will follow when they have been uploaded...feels like reviewing acceptance/rejection letters for grad school all over again.

FWIW, I'm a direct applicant (my program is in the US). This is the last year I can apply.

Direct applicants first would make sense! I received my username and password at 9:47am BC time. Direct App, last name A.

[JHSinclair]

Direct applicant with last name S, received at 1:57.  

[imbadatusernames]

Direct applicant with last name "M", received 12:29 PM. I don't have high hopes, but it's been an anxious ride just waiting for these results. 

[TurnLeft]

I feel ILL. ??

[70nks]

Applicant through UQAM in QC (applied in French, i don't know if that'll change anything). Last name D, just got the email.

Btw, the email is titled "Extranet for SSHRC Competition Results" which gave me about 26 simultaneous heart attacks because I initially only read "SSHRC Competition Results". Be warned, hahaha. 

The login is on the NSERC Portal (influence.nserc-crsng.gc.ca), full personalized link in the email.

* edit * the first email contains your username (email), second email has your generated password. 

 

*edit 2*: here's what the portal looks like, if that helps assuage any of yalls stress. it's extremely basic, which is a blessing, because nothing is worse than overly convoluted portals where nothing is intuitive...

Has anyone tried asking their department if they have results?

I know that my supervisor will have direct access to the portal whenever the results are shared with universities, but at the same time, if I lost, I don't want to put that on them to tell me. Also if I won, after three years of rejections/waitlists, I'd like to find potential winning results directly from SSHRC ?

[Saiyph]

I was forwarded by my institution, I got my username and password information sent to me at 12:09pm local time. I guess we just wait for the results email. 

[lleto]

I just received the emails as well. I applied through QC university  (someone in my cohort received their emails around the same time)

Let's reframe - if we were not selected, we did not lose. We simply were not selected. It is like figure skating or any other judged event. There are political, social, cultural and personal biases that enter into a reading of our applications. We are all winners in the sense that you are in a PhD program and you will not have lost your work, you/I were simply read by someone who had other priorities. Peptalk to myself. ?

Geesh. Bad grammar! Need to get back to writing!

Of course! Thank you for the positivity : )
