My application shows "Received" on the NSERC website. I am already a PhD student at the University, half way through my second year, I never heard about an internal selection system for current students, are you sure about this?

Check your school's website regarding tri-council funding....the information should be public and transparent.... Crawn 1
jesseV Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Just got my notification email, last name V from U Toronto. Guess they really are doing them alphabetically.

Every university has a quota of NSERC PGS/CGS D applications that they can submit to NSERC after internal review. labcoat777 1

Double check with your university. I had a friend who had to apply externally (research portal) because his university didn't have an internal process.

StructIntern Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 just got the email as well.....last name Y ....11:00 AM MST AlphaBetta 12 1
BobaCat Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Just got email. Last name Y. They should've sent this heads-up email last week ... sending it a day before they plan to release result is a recipe for sleepless night... See you all tomorrow! ❤️Let's get through this wait together user907438, Crawn, SineAndie and 1 other 4

What is your university? I have friends in grad programs across the country and the internal review seems to be pretty standard. Many schools even give those who are nominated/sent to Ottawa a last look at their application to fix any issues noted by internal reviewers. Just my experience YMMV
SineAndie Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Phew, good thing we didn't panic at all about these emails ? catPhD, BobaCat, Crawn and 7 others 8 2
Crawn Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Got the email. 'S" surname in EDT...plus my laptop was on mute so it has been sitting there while I obsessed over GradCafe. ? Edited April 15, 2020 by Crawn
StructIntern Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 This may sound conspiratorial but every yr NSERC seems to be very creative abt how they release the results......

"creative" is a very polite way of putting it! I would rather have had radio silence for one more day and then the result! Not gonna be able to get any work done for the next 24 hours! catPhD, BioFish, vireo and 5 others 4 4
MittensProject Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It seems like they've having fun...create a new website, then send an email telling us to expect a second and third email... labcoat777 and StructIntern 2
BobaCat Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Just now, SaraA said: I am at UofT I assumed U of T does internal review because at least for ECE dept, the deadline was in Sep, a month? before the deadline for direct apps. I could be wrong though :$

I can't wait to obsess over the next two emails. And then end up being one of the people who don't get it within 2 days (as they predict). ? vireo, thatblondegirl, SineAndie and 1 other 2 2
labcoat777 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 lol imagine them sending all 1000 emails at 11:58pm on April 16
Crawn Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 4 minutes ago, SaraA said: I am at UofT I would suggest contacting your department or the awards office. They will be able to clarify whether your application was forwarded to the national competition or not. You can also look at some of the information available here
StructIntern Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Are we going to freak out about who get the second and third email first and who will get them later on ???? ?
