Schools have an internal selection process, I got an email when they forwarded my application to NSERC. 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....

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

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.

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

Got the email. 'S" surname in EDT...plus my laptop was on mute so it has been sitting there while I obsessed over GradCafe. ?

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!

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 :$

It seems like they've having fun...create a new website, then send an email telling us to expect a second and third email...

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). ?

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
