Hi ,

 

I was in Vancouver when i submitted my application>but now moved to Alberta. I am not able to get any infomation from my previous home address .What to do?

 

Will NSERC put result on website? If yes, when?

 

thanks

You should better send an email to NSERC and tell your story very briefly. They should correctly advise you; suggest you what steps to take next. Like the ocean that remains calm in its depths even when waves rage over its surface, and like the sun that continues shining on high even during storms, we can at each moment create value and develop our state of life, enjoying our existence to the fullest in times of both suffering and joy.

Yes, that is right :)

Thanks alot for the information. How did you find out about your ranking? Like who did you contact at NSERC? And when do they announce the June results? Like the first week?

So what happens if you're on the waiting list? Do people on there ever get an award?

Yes, fairly often. I even had a friend who got a PDF last year after being on the wait list.

Extremely delighted to pass this information. I won this year's NSERC PDF. I received my letter in Victoria this morning. I wish you all the best all as well.

They will publish another result in June. I really wish you all the best. There is a good chance to succeed this year for short listed applicants. Once again, best of luck, and never give up!

I just got my results of PDF application. Unfortunately, I was rejected and I only rank 30 of 111 applications in my area. Although it is said it might be possible for IRDF, I think there will be no chance for such program. Few industrial companies want to provide the opportunity for IRDF. I will graduate this Summer from my PhD program. Accoring to the new regulation, I can't apply for NSERC PDF again. So farewell for my NSERC PDF program.  Good luck for all the others!

The letter I received this morning, stated it. I think NSERC is trying to be more transparent this time. I hope this helps.

How did you find out this information? I am a PGS/CGS Applicant.

Looks like NSERC is mailing rank and score for successful and shortlisted PDF applicants.

 

I am shortlisted. Ranked 21/111.

Thanks kurtz105.

 

I wish they'd also tell the PGS/CGS applicants our ranks. :( I almost wish I'd been flat out rejected so I wouldn't have to wait for another two months to find out what happened.

Got my letter finally, CGS M.

What exactly is the process to inform NSERC of your decision to accept?

Posted

Got my Letter today in Edmonton, Alberta. My PGS-D application will remain on a short-list of alternates.  Anyone have any insight/comments on the Waiting List.

 

Good luck everyone Else

Well that's an achievement at least! What committee/field is that for?

For those who applied for PGS/CGS wondering about their ranking:

 

In June email schol@nserc-crsng.gc.ca requesting feedback from your application, be sure to include your NSERC pin etc. They will provide you with your committee rank as well as a breakdown of your scores in academics, research, and communication.

I emailed them last week about ranking information and they put my name on a list of people to contact.  We will hear about it sometime in May.

 

Regarding the alternate/wait list, it is too early to tell.  It depends on a number of factors, including the number of declined awards.  People have until January to accept or decline, so don't hold your breath!  I was told that people on the alternate list find out in the summer or even fall if they are successful.

 

For the sake of my sanity, I am going to put this out of mind and hope for the best/expect the worst.  You can't start hoping to be contacted from now until fall, and you won't be contacted unless you are successful, so just enjoy the summer and forget about it.

 

I have a few manuscripts on the go and I am just going to assume I don't get a PGS-D and use that as motivation to finish them ASAP and get them on my C.V. for the NSERC 2014 application.

Has anybody not received a letter from NSERC yet? I'm in Vancouver and still waiting... Haven't moved or anything where there could be a mix up.
