CIHR CGS-D 2023

[cardiorenalsyndrome]

Hi everyone,

Based on previous discussions, it seemed like CIHR releases the CGS-D results on April 15th every year. I was notified that I was forwarded to the national competition in November, and now it’s April 15th and I don’t see any updates this year though? My status still says “in peer review”. Does anyone know if there is a delay, or maybe they don’t release these results on a Saturday? Thanks in advance

I think the previous year it was April 16th.... Which is making me think they release it on the 3rd Friday of April.... Unfortunately that is next Friday due to the 1st being a Saturday.

That makes a lot of sense actually! I’ve seen them release results on a Monday years ago as well, so I hope they’re able to do that this year. April 21st seems so late since I’ve never seen them come out later than April 18th

I have applied for NSERC previously and the results come out sooo late! So honestly anything is better than NSERC  But yes hopefully tomorrow! The 21st is too far away.

I just looked on research net and it says the anticipated notice of decision will be April 25...😩

Oh wow, where did you find that out? I logged onto my researchnet a few times to sleuth and found no specific date announced. Are you sure this is for CIHR and not NSERC? I wonder why it's so late this year compared to previous years. In 2021 they even released the results on a Thursday (April 15th).

Yeah, you have to click on 'find funding opportunities' --> 'current opportunities' and it's under 'doctoral research award'. I was expecting the 15th too, it's always been that date or the Monday after if the 15th falls on the weekend. Not sure what happened this year but it's definitely not helping my stress lol

Thank you so much for this insight!! At least now we know a definitive date and I can stop randomly checking everyday 😩 This 7 month wait is pure cruelty honestly

Nice that CIHR actually gives y'all a date...All us NSERC folks get is "April"

Last time I applied we found out around noon (EST) so if thats the case, probably a couple more hours... unfortunately

[NeurosciB]

ugh still nothing!!!! this is distracting me so much today! (More than usual lol)

We called the CIHR office and the results will be posted this evening. CIHR is open till 8:00pm EST, so here's hoping that information was accurate.

lol seems like they lied. I thought since I applied for CIHR instead of NSERC this year that I would avoid all this uncertainty and waiting

not NSERC getting released before CIHR 🤦‍♀️

the hope I felt momentarily that quickly went away lol come on CIHR tell usssss

I’m really frustrated, I didn’t think CIHR would be this unreliable. 7 months waiting in the dark and they don’t mind making us wait even more- I’m shocked that they couldn’t adhere to their own announcement date 😪

Its so wild to me! They know who got it and who didn't and funding starts next week! Like, just release it! Im over here trying to mark finals 😭

Just got my results.... I unfortunately was not awarded a scholarship. One reviewer scored me way lower than the other which brought my score down significantly  Good luck to everyone else!

The results are out, really happy to get it. Good luck for everyone else.

Same here, I didn't get it either. A bit disappointed since I got the CGS-M 2 years ago, but at least we have closure and are no longer waiting. Oddly, I had 3 reviewers for my application; One gave me 3.5 on two sections, another gave me 4.0 and 4.5 on the given sections, and the last reviewer gave me 4.2 on two sections. I only see points for research ability and relevant experiences/achievements.

Sorry to hear that! Apparently they are supposed to get a third person to review if you two reviewers are drastically far apart in their ranking of you. Mine were 3.4 and 4.4 on average between the 2.... You would think they would have given me a third reviewer.

Their review process is definitely flawed, it's sad that they can miss out on some really good applicants because of this 😕 Sorry to hear that the odds weren't in your favour either, is this your final time applying?
