SSHRC Doctoral 2025 2026

[hbjbanana]

Hi! I am a first-time applicant for the SSHRC and this process is hell! Today, my application has disappeared from the SSHRC portal. The portal reads "nothing to display". A friend who applied is also having the same issue. Is anyone else waiting impatiently for the next month? Let's commiserate together!

Thanks for making this thread. I think it's normal for the application to disappear at this stage. Mine is gone too.

The wait has been killing me. Hopefully they aren't delayed like last year.

Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for this! I literally just sent an email asking the same question to the SSHRC contact address 😅. Good luck!

Mine reads "nothing to display" as well so I am guessing it is like that across the board.

I know we're expecting to wait a few more weeks for results but unless this is from a different competition (or a very late waitlisted recipient from last year's competition), it looks like at least one person has heard the news already? https://www.uwindsor.ca/dailynews/full-issue/2025-04-04

Yes! I am so impatient and check my emails at least 3 times a day... lol It's suuuuuch a long wait!

I know that SSHRC's CGS-D page says the results will be announced "April 30". The doctoral fellowships that don't necessarily run for 36 months say "mid-April". So, I'm thinking this is either old news that Windsor is advertising late, or one of the other SSHRC awards that is not 40k for 36 months.

I also think this is old news that just took a while for their comms team to draft and post. I did however read in another forum that someone got results for NSERC CGS-D yesterday. Maybe the results will come out on a rolling basis? I won't hold my breath though. April 30 seems more likely

Hey Everyone, 

This is my second year applying (wasn't successful last year) and so here are some thoughts...

1. It's normal for the application to disappear. It means they are processing things on the back end. 

2. Don't count on that April 30th date or even end of April. System problems notoriously happened and we didn't find out last year until the first few days in May. 

3. Also not everyone will find out at once if they do the same thing as last year. They notified people in two batches 24 hours apart so they wouldn't crash their system (which happened the year before). This was alphabetical order and wasn't indicative of whether you were successful or not. 

Hope this helps!

Considering that some NSERC applicants received their results last week, is there hope for an earlier release date?

[lyonharted07]

I doubt it. They usually receive their results first and year on year when you look back at previous chats they always release the Doctoral awards on the last day of April or even later because of system problems. So I would just prepare you mind for that and if we find out sooner then it's a pleasant surprise..
