[University of Manitoba Faculty of Graduate Studies] ________________________________ As you have probably heard, Dr. Doering has announced an increase to the GETS funding program. In addition to increases in funding, we are pleased to announce an easier and more streamlined application process. GETS applications<https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=HY7mJFENgPOKgrDJB-6mNA> can now be completed online (no login required) with the ability to attach documents. The practice of accepting a hard copy of an application or a pdf via email will be discontinued effectively immediately. Please note that all new applications will be assessed with the increased amounts; the guidelines<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/media/GETSguidelines2014_201…> have been updated to reflect increases). For Principle Investigators whom have already submitted an application and have not yet received a confirmation of funding email, please let me know via email if you would prefer that application be assessed with the new cost sharing amounts. I'm excited about the new online GETS application. It will help streamline funding requests, which in turn benefits both the PI and student. With implementing the online application, I respectfully ask for your patience as I work through the adjustments and the new process. ________________________________ Rosemary Visevic Awards Assistant Faculty of Graduate Studies * Phone: 204.474.6827 * Fax: 204.474.7553 500 University Centre * Winnipeg, Manitoba * Canada R3T 2N2 ________________________________
