snowshoes Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So... anyone hear if their application was forwarded to NSERC yet? I heard that they forward them this week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've heard that there is a process for a current CGS - M or PGS - M holder to apply for an extension of their support for an additional year. I've searched around on the site but couldn't seem to find any useful information. Does anybody know anything about this? This only applies to people who were awarded the CGS M or PGS M back in 2009 or something (i.e. the old two year CGS/PGS M awards). Now we only get 1 year awards for masters studies.

SANDIEGO Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi guys, I got a PGS M for my masters, and now I'm doing a PhD. Can I apply for the PGS D next year? (I started my PhD this september) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The NSERC page says: to be eligible... you must have completed, as of December 31 of the year of application, between zero and 24 months of studies (full-time equivalent) in the doctoral program for which you are requesting funding Assuming that this is currently your first year of PhD, and you are a full-time student, then by December 2013, you will have completed 16 months of studies, so next year is the last year that you will be eligible to apply. However, you will only be eligible for the CGS/PGS D2 (i.e. the 2 year award) because you would have completed more than 12 months of PhD next year. So if you get it, you will be funded for years 3 and 4 of your PhD. All the information is here: http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudiants/pg-cs/bellandpostgrad-belletsuperieures_eng.asp SANDIEGO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL18 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) So... anyone hear if their application was forwarded to NSERC yet? I heard that they forward them this week... I will be checking mine often today. Last year (Friday, November 24th) the NSERC website updated my status from "submitted" to "received". Edit: that should say Thursday, November 24th. Given that the 25th falls on a Sunday this year, I'm not sure if we should expect updates until Monday or not.

Maybe Monday is the day. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great, let the waiting begin Can't wait to be back here in a few months freaking out with you guys haha They do, your information is sent electronically to NSERC, it takes them a few days to a couple of weeks. Last year, my email came in mid December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL18 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was updated this afternoon to "approved". See you all in 17 weeks pending budget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejayek Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Congratulations you guys Do any of you know what the various status's mean on the NSERC page? Last time around when I successfully got a PGS-M my status never went to 'approved', I only saw 'recieved' once the university forwarded it on. I am just wondering if the 'approved' status is something different, or if I should be worried that mine only says 'recieved'. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approved is an electronic submission, it is only a temporary status. Mine changed and today says received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoel12 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) March is almost here... Any guesses for when the letters will be sent? I'm guessing around March 25... which is quite optimistic considering last year we didn't hear anything till April .

Guest ||| Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 As if it is impossible to be in film and not conduct research relevant to nserc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecttext Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) film as an academic discipline? no. as an engineer or physicist sure. please enlighten me, i don't get it. Edited February 24, 2013 by selecttext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ||| Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 One could study film and apply for nserc, though you would defend your work under the psychology guidelines, and defend it as being psychological in nautre. To perhaps to be more specific with a potential quesiton, you could consider topics of spatial location, sequence of events, angle view and others when considering how they impact memory and learning. Of course these are all off the fly, but there are of course endless relevant questions one could ask that adhere to the guidelines of nserc http://www.science.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=FEE7261A-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
