CIHR 2012 DRA results?

[elixir]

Working towards Dal PhDer's prediction of the results being released between 10:00am - 11:00am

Not looking likely anymore.... but we still have 20 min

The F5 button on my laptop is wearing out

[Mike Slackenerny]

If I could, I definitely would give it to all the posters here.

20 mins from a riot....

[Dal PhDer]

20 minutes until I drown myself in wine!

[elixir]

F the catalyst grant! I got four windows cycling through a refresh... my researchnet, my email, the funding decisions page and this forum thread

[MissionRNAi]

I bet the CIHR admin people have their troll faces on. I'm guessing after lunch. Maybe late afternoon.

[Dal PhDer]

They are probably watching the thread right now .... And evil laughing.

[Mike Slackenerny]

Its beyond 11...

In other news, a PhD student suffered from a ruptured artery in his brain at the University of Toronto. Officials say that the student in question was waiting to hear about his funding agencies, but the anxiety was too much to bear. What made the situation even more interesting was the fact that the reviews were done and processed over 2 months ago.

[mitcherr]

sooo has anyone heard yet? Mine is still not updated lol I hope this is not a bad sign

[MissionRNAi]

Thanks for writing my obituary.

Ugh. I am so out of it. The 70% EtOH siting on my bench is starting to look much more appealing than ever...

[mitcherr]

I just realized the posts above mine are from today... i think I must have drank my 70% EtOH

[mitcherr]

So my guess is they are going to go with the end of the day 4:55... to possibly limit the number of angry phonecalls or emails they will need to respond to today

[elixir]

It's gotta happen before noon right...

[Mike Slackenerny]

Like MissionRNAi refered to earlier, Troll CIHR is Trolling

[Mike Slackenerny]

In case anyone feels like emailing someone about this, here is the email to do so....

DRA@cihr-irsc.gc.ca

[Dal PhDer]

There is not enough time to write an email between all the refreshing and wine glass filling.

[Dal PhDer]

I was thinking...the fact the I am drinking and refreshing the page all day instead of driving into work really foreshadows my results...

[KathrynMorrison]

We're going to email them and someone at CIHR is going to get the email and say "Oh crap, that was today. Who feels like pulling names out of a hat?"

[Dal PhDer]

Haha...I bet they have a bunch of chimps in a room full of typewriters doing up the award winner names

[MissionRNAi]

What a way to spend a Monday....sitting in the lab being agitated from the heat (for some reason it's 28C in here) and pushing F5. Also getting WAY too excited every time a new email arrives in my inbox. I am very tempted to email them. So tempted.

[Lucretia]

They are up.

Ranked 144 and they gave 141 out. So close but so far.

[MissionRNAi]

OH MY GOD I THINK IT'S UP

[elixir]

Results are in! Unfortunately I ranked 198 :-(

[MissionRNAi]

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[elixir]

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is that a relieved sigh or a disappointment sigh? I hope someone in this forum got funded

[MissionRNAi]

Failure.
