Zourob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Vanier awards as well. 50 of them awarded out and you'd assume that if you get a Vanier, you also got a PGS or CGS.
Zourob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Do they do that? Like cross-awarding?? So if someone's name was listed for a CGS, he will also be listed for a PGS?
MTL18 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Do they do that? Like cross-awarding?? So if someone's name was listed for a CGS, he will also be listed for a PGS? No, the CGS/PGS pool is the same pot. Top PGS applicants are automatically CGS until that quota is filled. The Vanier is a separate application and can be applied for along with a CGS/PGS. You may only accept one however, that's where people will decline the PGS/CGS as the Vanier is way more prestigious and worth lots more money.
peduncle Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I just heard from my supervisor that I've been waitlisted for CGS-M. She got the news from grad studies (Memorial University of Newfoundland).

QueensCS Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 My questions is - all the guys who know their results, were they informed by the departments without enquiring or the department let them know of the result only after they enquired about the results.

QueensCS Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Budget is released. Anyone have any idea how this affected NSERC, if it did at all?
selecttext Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 My friend is celebrating news of a PGS your friend in montreal?
spandexpanda Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I am in Gatineau and haven't heard anything. I haven't tried contacting grad studies, I don't want to be "that guy".
Zourob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 What is this year's budget and how does it compare to last year's?
lhommependu Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 p.203 mentions 15 mil to NSERC. no idea how that compares to previous years http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/626432-budget2013-eng.html#document/p3
Zourob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Believe this is less than the past years' budgets :/
spandexpanda Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Believe this is less than the past years' budgets :/ Isn't it the same as last year?
KyleNova Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm guessing since my Dept. hasn't emailed me, I'm outta luck? Any other McMaster students heard anything?
EvolBiol Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I interpret that as an additional $15million to nserc, as a part of the $37mil increase to industry-academic partnership to all three councils. Someone posted previously that the PDF budget alone is the ball park of $15-16mill per year... so maybe thats good news for the industry types? the rest must be about the same as years previous.
mattboud Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm guessing since my Dept. hasn't emailed me, I'm outta luck? Any other McMaster students heard anything? Absolutely not. It's not common for departments to email the results, they're not required to do so, and many are hesitant to do it. Wait for the letter, you're odds haven't changed. jnoel12 1

Someone posted previously that the PDF budget alone is the ball park of $15-16mill per year... so maybe thats good news for the industry types? the rest must be about the same as years previous. The PDF budget USED to be in that ballpark. It's about half that now, at best. I saw that while NSERC got a 15 million increase, 12 million of that is earmarked for the Colleges and Community Innovation Program, whatever that is.
EvolBiol Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 College and Community Innovation Program, CCIP. CCIP supports collaboration between colleges and industry on research and development projects that focus on company needs, helping firms to become more innovative and productive.
Guest ||| Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) your friend in montreal? I haven't heard anything interesting regarding nserc and montreal Thanks. Which school do you go to and did you win? UBC, no word yet. That said, I applied directly so I don't expect to hear from them. Edited March 22, 2013 by |||
jnoel12 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I never thought I'd say this, but I hate Fridays! If we don't hear today, then we have to wait a whole weekend, and maybe more . I think that next week is a good time to start stalking the mailman, lol.
