Banting Fellowship 2016/17

[Darma]

Thought I'd start this thread because the Banting results are a week late and I am going a little nuts checking the site every few minutes.  Anyone else with me? Anyone have any news?

Thanks for creating this thread. I'm with you Darma. The anxiety is killing me. I can't concentrate and work. Keep refreshing my email and checking ResearchNet every hour. Hoping for some good news this week.

11 Days late now...I wish they'd at least send out an update so we can stop thinking about it. I am glad to hear I'm not the only one waiting though, I was starting to worry that I'd made some error in my application and it hadn't been included or something. 

[Darma]

Got the email below from CIHR today...they say results will be posted on ResearchNet this week but won't say exactly when:

 

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your message.

We are working to release the results this week. Unfortunately we are not in a position to indicate a specific date.

All applicants will be notified via email through ResearchNet once the results are released.

Best wishes,

Many thanks Darma for this info. Hopefully they don't wait till Friday before releasing results.

I'm not a Banting applicant but I know of several folks who received the letters from Banting today. Good luck all.

Got my results yesterday, I am wait listed but far enough down that it is pretty much impossible I'll ultimately get one. Close but no cigar!  I wish there was a little bit more feedback, my lowest score was for the research proposal, which I felt was my strongest section. Good luck to the rest of you who applied!
