eliasg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Of course not looooool why should they be ranked ? you can be a good researchers and not from a very known university !!! can't you ? In my lab, there are already 2 NSERC CGS from last year, and one FQRNT, and they're in Concordia which is not the top university in Canada if you compare it with U of T for example ! I mean ranked between the applicants in each university Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliasg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So the budget is tabled, what's next down the road? I hope we will hear by tomorrow.... The only way to hear by tomorrow is by your department. For the letters, we have to wait for next week I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliasg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Few days ago, some people from Ottawa said in this Forum that they received positive or negative answer from NSERC. Is this fake or what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faming Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think Banting informs via Researchnet like Vanier The federal granting agencies will notify successful applicants of the competition results by March 30, 2012 it seems not from Research Net.

yellowtulip Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Eliasg - at least the ResearchNet start date is well AFTER the date of notification. Doesn't seem to be the case for the normal PDFs (can theoretically start 'em April 1st). At least the Canadian universities presumably know how to handle this - doing a post-doc in the US is going to confuse the heck out of my employer if I can have an Apr 1st start.

yellowtulip Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 But if you read the PDF award holders guide on NSERC's website, it says the awards can start April 1st. That's what I mean... it makes sense to have a May 1st date (and give plenty of time for notifications). Having an April 1st start doesn't make sense at all since I certainly won't know 'til after April 1st whether or not I got a PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTL18 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Don Pittis: R&D money has been shifted from tax breaks to grants. School or corporate? This makes more sense for corporations than publicly funded organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowtulip Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hmm... I'm just looking at the award holder's guide for banting too, and that one also lists April 1st. http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/Guides-Guides/BantingIntro-BantingIntro_eng.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliasg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So i think NSE|RC will remain the same proportion oflast year (50% for MSc and Phd ) and 10% for PDF What do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
