T.burelli Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 CIHR is not the same than SSHRC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarcoatedsour Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes, but I think SMF1016 applied to SSHRC but was told to apply to CIHR next year. So the rejection letter is from SSHRC, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal PhDer Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It is not uncommon for rejected applicants to be told by SSHRC to apply to CIHR. They're very strict about where applicants truly fall- and if you have a hint of health in there, you'll most likely be told you don't fall under the SSHRC funding themes. Sorry to hear that SMF1016 - it's a bummer. Better luck next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I applied for SSHRC and my letter came from SSHRC - they stated that my proposal was health-related and so I couldn't be included in their competition. They advised me to apply for CIHR next year because they fund health-related research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarcoatedsour Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sorry to hear about it. Perhaps you received your letter already due to the exceptional circumstances of your case in which you were ruled out pretty much upon arrival at the federal level, because of the subject matter of your proposal was ill-suited to SSHRC. Otherwise, rejected proposals received notification at the same time as successful applicants. Could you tell us your location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbered Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm also sorry for your disappointment. Given the date of your letter suggests that it is not of the same batch as the letter that are sent out after the adjudication. Better luck next year. A good thing about this for you SMF is that the budget for CIHR is almost double that of SSHRC so there is a lot more $$$ to go around. That is if you are into the silver lining thing.. If not i can only empathize and share your frustration (hugs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbered Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 SSHRC has been prolifically tweeting about everything but the one thing that really matters.... I think they are taunting us!!! Well, ok, maybe, this was my inner narcissist talking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_For_Life Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Went to an uber fancy gala last night full of important people and word on the street was that SSHRC letters had left Ottawa and were now travelling via donkey cart to their destinations, but take that with a grain of salt! No one I spoke to could/would reveal how they received this info so I'm not putting much stock in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtncffts Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well, I didn't get it. I didn't get a letter, but the status on my university student centre site changed to 'not awarded' from 'nominated'. So, blah. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarcoatedsour Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sorry to hear about that wtncffts. Did you find out from your grad advisor or?

blanksun Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 question: if you're awarded a CGS, but you applied internationally (and your proposal made that clear), can you convert it to a doctoral fellowship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarcoatedsour Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 question: if you're awarded a CGS, but you applied internationally (and your proposal made that clear), can you convert it to a doctoral fellowship? You have to take the doctoral fellowship (20,000 x4) as a Canadian abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean the uni's have the results? And what is the "secure" SSHRC site for the woefully uninformed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrauleinZaftig Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Long time lurker here, second time applying, shortlisted both times, in Montreal. Anyone else try logging in to their own account on the SSHRC website? Mine is completely empty. Also, my school does not list the "nominated" status (and never has), so apart from hearing in the letter, there's little else to do but wait.

wrenochka Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 question: if you're awarded a CGS, but you applied internationally (and your proposal made that clear), can you convert it to a doctoral fellowship? Yes, for sure! I've had two friends who've done just that for UK programs. And when you convert to the 20K, someone who got the 20K then gets bumped up to CGS.

Mine is also showing completely empty under the SSHRC portfolio page. It has for some time (since like Feb. I think). I'm sure it won't be too much longer. Hang in there.
