drsalimander Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hello! Good luck to everyone! For any anxious lurkers out there that haven't received an email from NSERC yet, it may be because you applied for a CGS-M NSERC COVID research extension grant and your extranet logins are deep in your email from August 2020, you won't be receiving an email with your logins but your old login and profile will have the results. Save yourself from emailing your supervisor, the lovely grad admin in your department, NSERC and having a minor heart attack on a Monday morning. lm901 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anyone else from my program in the NSERC competition this year, so this has been great. Since I'm marking a 2nd year Animal Bio exam right now I thought I'd share my favourite answer to brighten everyone's day: "the bird lung is stuff and does not change in volume" Best of luck to everyone! how big is your cohort?

There's only 1 other PhD in my lab and she's funded through another external grant. Since I started during the pandemic I haven't actually met anyone outside of my own lab . . . So as far as I know, there isn't anyone else. But there probably is, I just have never met them! I think there's another Carleton bio person somewhere on this board? If so, hi!

If so, hi! nice nice! i guess small cohort means more attention from supervisor? i miss ottawa, my last city before moving here to quebec was Ottawa. i regret not exploring parliament house and all before leaving. the only thing i dont miss is the public transit in ottawa... the number of times the bus was behind schedule and oh the new train system... number of times it broke down during peak hours...

I've heard a lot of people talk smack about the bus system here. Since I moved here during the panorama I haven't taken it yet though. How's Quebec? When things open up, and it's safe, I want to go and explore more. MarleyBarley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StructIntern Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Best of luck everyone..I just found out that there is a tab function where you can upload documents and create new folders in the Applicant Library. I suspect thats how the feedback and letters will be uploaded. Yes you guess it right...manually. Janexkz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, name starting with B, so maybe if they are doing alphabetical order they gave the results to a small number of people at the end of the day?

Universities can tell students but can't publicize anything: "You are welcome to advise your students of their results for the 2021 competition. However, as per NSERC’s request, please do not issue any public statements or press releases until advised to do so by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies." tje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuminatice Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I have to admit I find it extremely frustrating that they leave the applicants hanging and don't notify them first. They should be the first to know, in my opinion... it is their award, after all. tje and BittersweetHaiku 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually understand what the point of notifying departments first, but maybe there's a good reason I can't think of. I would ask the faculty about my result, but in all honesty it will be quicker to wait for NSERC to tell me I think haha Edited April 27, 2021 by tje illuminatice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am lucky because my department is small and I've made friends with the grad admin. The plus side is that the results will come very very soon.
