Konstantin Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Now that we have seen all the MA students around us get their SSHRCs, how does everyone feel? And now we get to witness all other Tri-Council applicants post about their awards! I think CIHR is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diakonos Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Graduate director at my school says he has no idea when SSHRC will release results. In fact, he says I'll probably find out first, and he asked me to let him know! I had very conveniently forgotten about worrying for SSHRC results until a few of my MA friends heard about their CGS-M. I resent them for this. surefire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsoc Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Is anyone logging on their SSHRC profile page? Will the results be on there do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentharbour Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 All signs point to notification by mail. I am not sure that anything is done online at the doctoral level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 An award announcement made on April 1st at my school indicates that the competition results will be released by surface mail at the end of April. I assume this was not an April Fools joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this was not an April Fools joke! Someone here emailed SSHRC and they said to expect results in mid to late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Someone here emailed SSHRC and they said to expect results in mid to late April. That's right -- I was just pointing out that the results will be released via regular mail, not electronically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safferz Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That's right -- I was just pointing out that the results will be released via regular mail, not electronically. Ah, I thought your school had announced "end of April" as though that's definite and you were letting us know... at least the SSHRC email gives us hope for an earlier release crimsoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think my school has no idea when the results will be out, judging by its erroneous media release mid-March claiming that the NSERC applicants would be receiving their results by mail at the end of April, whereas they have already received their results in March electronically. crimsoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbaid Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I spoke to our Graduate Secretary and our PhD director last week and they both told me they had no idea when PhD SSHRC will be announced. For some reason, I keep reassuring myself that results will be out by April 17th. We're almost there folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I keep reassuring myself that results will be out by April 17th. We're almost there folks. I would love that. I have this fear of seeing the envelope in my mailbox the day of my comprehensive exam (29th), then agonizing over whether to open it before I go in or not -- open it and risk bad news killing my confidence before a 2 hour oral exam, or not open it and be just as distracted by the thought of my unopened SSHRC envelope. Heh. Diakonos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diakonos Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) That sounds awful, Safferz. We'll likely hear before then. If they keep saying mid-April to end of April, then I assume they're giving safe estimates and people should start seeing letters by the third to fourth week of this month. Last year, folks started hearing on Friday April 26. Edited April 7, 2014 by Diakonos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macavity Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I had a dream last night that SSHRC tweeted it would be mailing out results this Wednesday. I actually checked the twitter page first thing this morning to confirm that the dream was not, in fact, prophetic. Oh wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually checked the twitter page first thing this morning to confirm that the dream was not, in fact, prophetic. Oh wells. Heh, these dreams are pretty common in April. Speaking of dreams: I had a dream the other night that I was awarded a SSHRC, and then a zombie apocalypse broke out. I was very disappointed that I received the award and couldn't take it up anywhere since there were no functioning universities left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safferz Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just tell us already! The anticipation is KILLING ME. I'm more anxious about SSHRC results than I am about comps, or anything else at the moment. crimsoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surefire Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The anticipation is KILLING ME. I'm more anxious about SSHRC results than I am about comps, or anything else at the moment. GAH! I know! My department's OGS app was due last week and as I sat with the stupid online application trying to format scanned copies of transcripts it KILLED ME to think that I may actually be totally ineligible from holding that award anyway... SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS whether or not that effort was moot and I am driven to distraction in the meantime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsoc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I talked to my departmental chair today to check in about the sshrc. He thought I was approaching him to give him "good news". There is no way they will know before us. He was surprised that I told them they emailed me and indicated mid-to-late April. His words were: "I figured any day now!" Sheeesh. On another note, do you think sshrc staff read this blog? Edited April 8, 2014 by crimsoc crimsoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentharbour Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I know several former colleagues who have gone on to work at SSHRC in various positions, they most definitely are aware of this particular forum. I would imagine some do, and some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't think SSHRC staff actively gleans information from this forum, I'm sure they have more important things to do, such as waiting for an entire month after the applications have been reviewed to release the results.

bentharbour Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) http://werklund.ucalgary.ca/node/2673 It seems as if some departments already know results... Not sure what this means, there could be so much more to it. Edited April 8, 2014 by bentharbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) No, these are past winners (Nov 2012 competition): www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results-resultats/2013/CGS_Bombardier_2012_EF.pdf Edit: you actually have to copy and paste the link into your browser, since clicking it doesn't work.

bentharbour Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Your investigative skills are far superior to mine, my friend. I definitely just assumed based on the date this was published (April 4, 2014) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girlfriend_In_a_Coma Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm so grateful for this thread. I too am practically hallucinating because of the stress of waiting for results! I also saw the U Calgary announcements and was confused (freaked out). The last time I was so anxious was when I was waiting to find out if I got into my PhD program last winter/spring!
