Hopefully they award more awards this competition (as promised). 

Also hoping they are consistent with their scoring.. 

Are there any sources to confirm that more awards will be offered this year? I know that the value of the SSHRC postdoc has increased but am curious if overall increase in awards has been reported.

"In addition to the increase in award values, Budget 2024 proposed to increase the number of scholarships and fellowships provided, building to approximately 1,720 more graduate students and fellows benefitting each year, and to streamline the various tri-agency scholarship and fellowship programs into one talent program." https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-development/news/2024/05/government-of-canada-announces-details-of-increase-in-award-values-for-federal-scholarships-and-fellowships.html

I dont think they awarded more awards to the nserc postdoc applicants from what I saw.. they might maintain the regular success rate of around 20%. Who knows.

Yeah it does. However not a lot of people decline. Offers of alternate awards are made from july to september (they do not specify the exact date or month)

My guess is that some people will decline. Some people may not want to move or get other offers.
