I had 5 articles published and two under review.

you had really a good CV then. How couldn't you get it? were all the papers from your PhD? Are you an Engineering student?

I had 3 published papers and one in review and I still got rejected for the PGS-D.

you know, I've heard it depends also on the school. Every school has a percentage of the whole awards given annually. Of course, it is more competitive at good schools.

wired. Let 's see what happens to one of my labmates. he has no journal paper published, only 2 or 3 conference proceedings. I'll let you know. World is unfair generally!

Just got the email from the awards guy in our department. No NSERC for me. Apparently there will be a second round of awards offered in May but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck to everyone else!!

I have 7 journals, 8 conference all in 1st author. IRDF really means nothing, impossible to find a company.

what have you been studying for your PhD?

Posted

communications

you know I really don't understand NSERC (REAL) criteria. Last year they sent my application to the MATH committee, while I'm a student in Industrial Engineering!!

One thing that I do not have doubt about is Community Involvement, for which I was very involved through committee chairing, and volunteering many things..I have been really involved in extra-curric...

but this hasn't been stated clearly in their criteria. They have clear wights for research and communication.

by the way, I didn't PDF, just pre-approved for IRDF!

one very clear criterion to me also is "being a canadian citizenship". NOT a permanent resident.

Scholar, if you don't mind are u a citizen or permanent?

Yes, I do agree with you. It feels like to me NSERC is seeking potential leaders in academia and rather than pure good researcher.

By the way UTGrad..do not worry, maybe after 2 years I start looking for an industry job, not finding an academic one...

From where you got this number 131?

By the way, I am PR as well (not Canadian citizen)

anyway, as I mentined I don't know how they select people for the award. I have a really good CV compared to other people in my area, but still didn't get it. the whole process is disappoiting anyway!

userca, how do you know these?

Is it possible to know more information about a PDF "meritorious" rejection? like for instance, the ranking to at least know more or less the chances of getting the fellowship in may?

I am not sure but I think the only way you can know your exact ranking is to ask for details concerning your evaluation (in june) and you shall receive it in june or july (so after may anyway).

I think "meritorious rejection" means that you almost got it but there might be between 5 or 50++ persons before you and only NSERC knows that (until june or july).
