Please find
attached information for the up-coming 2012-13 CIHR CGS Master's
competition.
The application process for the CGSM is via ResearchNet's
electronic submission
system. Applicants are to complete their application through
ResearchNet,
including uploading their own official transcripts (NOTE:
transcripts issued by
the Registrar's Office to the student will be considered
official.
Opening the envelope to scan the transcript will not render it
unofficial). After submitting their application electronically
through
ResearchNet, they are to print their complete application and
submit a
hard-copy to their respective departments. It is recommended
that they
also submit their official transcripts in case CIHR requests
official copies,
however, it is not obligatory. If students decide to keep their
transcripts, they should ensure they have them available should
CIHR request
the originals.
As in last year's competition, CIHR no longer requires
departmental
appraisals. However, while a departmental review is not
required by
CIHR, departments are strongly encouraged to assist their
students by reviewing
applications to help students submit the best application
possible. The
Faculty of Graduate Studies is asking that departments please
complete the departmental
Ranking Sheets. Please set a deadline date for which
applications are
to be submitted to your department. It is advised that a
deadline be set at least 2 weeks
prior to the Faculty of Graduate Studies' deadline, which is December
8, 2011 to
ensure there is adequate time to review
applications, provide feedback and submit recommendations by
the deadline. Please forward the strongest
applications along with the Departmental Ranking Sheets. For
applications that departments do not recommend, do not send the
applications, only send the "Not
Recommended" Ranking Sheet with the list of names. Please do
return both Ranking Sheets, even if there are no student names
to list.
This competition is set to be advertised either on Friday, 30
September, 2011
or Monday, 3 October, 2011. Please distribute information about
this
year’s competition and our deadline to interested students and
other members in
your department.
Thank you so
much.
