NSERC's new fiscal year just started this month, ending March 2021, so it's a pretty big window of time haha. Best of luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 No word on waitlist offers yet, but just saw this news release about the NSERC PDF: they will now allow re-applications. https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Media-Media/NewsDetail-DetailNouvelles_eng.asp?ID=1154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I emailed NSERC for more info, they said that waitlist results will start to be sent out in April. If anyone gets off the waitlist, could you please post that here? Good luck to all other waitlisted peeps! I'm also waitlisted for 169 (14/31). Any chance you'd be willing share your ranking? I'm really curious about where the cutoff might be. Good luck!!

Nice to see the one-time-only rule for applications has changed (in case the waitlist doesn't move far enough!) FigNewt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee02 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Found these stats for 2020 NSERC postgrad and postdoc offers: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/_doc/Students-Etudiants/2020StatsScholarships_e.pdf Success rates were only ~25% this year in each category, but hopefully some of you are near the cut-off and will get waitlist offers soon. I'll be re-applying this fall and hoping for better results ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be re-applying this fall and hoping for better results ? Good find! I was checking here and hadn't seen any results posted yet. That's a pretty steep drop in the success rate compared to the past 5 years (which averaged 33%). Not only that, but when considering the total value of the offered awards it looks like the budget was nearly cut in half. Has there been any communication about the actual budget for awards this year, perhaps impacted due to COVID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Anybody else get the e-mail today about access to "Extranet for NSERC Competition Results"? It's empty for now, but I'm thinking that this will replace the typical letter mail results notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCJ Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like the Extranet access was to pre-empt some good news: I received an alternate award offer from the waitlist of the previous year (2020) competition DevsChick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied Fall 2019, got alternate shortlisted Jan/Feb 2020, then received notice that I was offered the alternate award off the shortlist earlier this month Jan 2021 (which I accepted by the deadline, yesterday, to start in Mar 2021). I also applied for the current competition in Fall 2020 since they lifted the once-per-lifetime application limit and I was still on the shortlist from the prior year. I just received notice yesterday (after accepting the previous offer) that I was offered an award this year as well. Apparently this can extend the eligible start date of the award up to Jan 2022, but I'm waiting to hear back from NSERC on how that'll work. Still waiting on word for the Banting too, which would result in me declining the NSERC PDF. MOEH and sdk63 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got shortlisted this year, so I guess even if I don't get off the shortlist later this spring I might have a chance next year if I applied again. Did you completely rewrote your proposal or did you just make some minor changes so it is up to date? I hope you get the Banting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
