winter2012 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) 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.

Zourob Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 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?
somegirl Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 So what happens if you're on the waiting list? Do people on there ever get an award?
kurtz105 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 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. raise cain 1

winter2012 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks !!! This is a very good new...(hopefully. )..since I am in 18/81 in ece and shortlisted.... 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!
westjasper Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) 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!

limmil Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Ranked 10 out of 81. Just you know it. My overall score is: 81/100. Hi Thanks for information and encouraging messages and thanks also to pitt13 . I received also my letter yesterday and I was shortlisted for PDF. My rank was 14/94 in biomedical committee. is there any one who is successful in this category? I was also pre approved for IRDF. Edited April 3, 2013 by limmil
winter2012 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 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? The letter I received this morning, stated it. I think NSERC is trying to be more transparent this time. I hope this helps.
Zourob Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Ranked 10 out of 81. Just you know it. My overall score is: 81/100. How did you find out this information? I am a PGS/CGS Applicant.
pdf2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 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.
somegirl Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yes, fairly often. I even had a friend who got a PDF last year after being on the wait list. 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.
oSniper Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Got my letter finally, CGS M. What exactly is the process to inform NSERC of your decision to accept?
CliffDoggy Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 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
kurtz105 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Looks like NSERC is mailing rank and score for successful and shortlisted PDF applicants. I am shortlisted. Ranked 21/111. Well that's an achievement at least! What committee/field is that for?
poorgradstudentguy Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 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.
snowshoes Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) 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.

map1 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 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.
