review access - NSERC applications
by Greg Skazyk 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

To all NSERC-eligible departments: As Scholarship Liaison Officer, I am able to grant, upon request, access to NSERC's application interface to individuals on a "view only" basis. This would allow Department representatives to review NSERC applications from their students for completeness, and would allow them to provide feedback to their students as well. If you are interested in having someone from your department have access to this feature, please email to me the email address of your department representative. I will give access (until October 22) to one representative per department; these individuals must have an NSERC log-in ID before I can activate their access: https://ebiz.nserc.ca/nserc_web/nserc_register_e.htm Regards, Greg Skazyk Acting Awards Officer Faculty of Graduate Studies 500 University Centre University of Manitoba 204 474-9836
