I was thinking maybe part of the maintenance was updating the application status of the roughly (if it’s the same as last year) 540 applicants waiting for results? That would coincide with the mid-February timeframe, as well.

That would coincide with the mid-February timeframe, as well. I doubt the two things are related (there are a lot more people using research net than just Banting applicants) and if they were I'm sure some applicant would have noted this as a sign in previous years on grad cafe. Probably better to plan for a later announcement date from an emotional perspective. I know this is hard. PsychBoy 1
kkam123 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I got my result and I was rejected. Good luck to everyone else
RCJ Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Just got my results as well, not offered either. Good luck ya'll!
PsychBoy Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Just saw the email. I can't check. Good luck everyone!
DevsChick Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Me neither, but I'm taking solace in the fact that there were significantly more applicants than last year and I was eligible on all criteria. Edited February 10, 2021 by DevsChick
eeb_scientist Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I received an NSERC PDF offer but was not successful with the Banting.
musichistorygeek Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Rejected here, too. Significantly better ranking than last year (and eligible on all criteria), but still no dice. DevsChick 1
kkam123 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Has anyone in Nserc committee 194 applied and recieved Banting as well? I am trying to see my chances of getting off of the waitlist of Nserc?

I do really feel like parts of my application really improved since last year, although of course I would prefer to have the funding. I’ve got a few other proposals out there in Canada and elsewhere, so I guess we’ll see what the FRQSC says in April...

I’ve got a few other proposals out there in Canada and elsewhere, so I guess we’ll see what the FRQSC says in April... I think the fact that we're here, and that we were able to get the external support required for our applications is positive in itself. I pulled my application together between September 1st and the deadline so it's a miracle I wasn't ranked last (and that I was able to submit at all) I'm waiting on a SSHRC postdoc application and the good news is that the research proposal was the strongest scoring section, and it's the part that is identical between the two proposals. I'll think positive thoughts for both of us! musichistorygeek 1
