Hi everyone. I received an email from my University's Awards office this morning congratulating me on receiving an NSERC Doctoral award! I haven't received anything from NSERCs end but looks like at least administrative results are being sent out in some cases. It also doesn't specify between CGSD/PGSD, but might also be a result of the new set-up with budget 2024. 

Good luck everybody!!

To anybody reading this and freaking out because they didn’t get an email from their institution and are worried they didn’t get the award, it’s rare that instituons do this and definitely not the norm, relax and breathe, you’ll get your email from NSERC soon

Has anyone else seen the profiles of past NSERC PGS-D winners and realized just how screwed you are? No? Just me? Cool! 

I've always been curious where you see this? i would like to take a look

Dumb question, but does the time you receive your NSERC email (ie today or tomorrow) indicate if you got an award or not?

No. The emails come out over several hours and there is absolutely no pattern to how they come out, not by awarded/rejected, not by committee number, not by PGS-D/CGS-D, not alphabetical order, it’s totally random. People on this forum every year always desperately try and find a pattern but there isn’t one, it’s just seemingly random, you just have to wait until you get yours

Thank you! 

Here is a link to my Outline of Proposed Research and Contributions: https://unbcloud-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/lwhite3_unb_ca/EukrLvD2wUNHgfGNzC30jmIBPB0kn3-0FNjxMt9a2QOM5Q?e=aj0D7W

I am in my 2nd year of my PhD, I had applied a couple years ago before officially starting it and didn't make it past internal rounds. At the point of submitting this application, I didn't have any "official" publications, but had one in review. But I definitely have a lot of experience in the "other" categories. As hard as I find it to write about myself, I put a lot of work into my statements to really boast those as much as possible. 

I was genuinely shocked when I got the email, based on my lack of publications I felt it was really 50/50 as to whether I'd get one. So there is definitely hope if your CV isn't publication heavy!!! 

Hope this is helpful, and I am happy to answer any other questions. :)

Has anyone not received an email from NSERC notifying them that results will be released soon? I have yet to myself. 

Me neither.

I also have not ... I don't understand how their system works at all.
