The GETS program guidelines have been developed in consultation with the associate deans (research) / research liaison officers network. Completed applications are due in the Faculty of Graduate Studies no later than 15 Nov 2011. I encourage you to carefully read the guidelines for the GETS program to ensure eligibility before applying.

CIHR Canada Graduate Scholarships Master's Award 12-13 Competition
by Tracy Sobotkiewicz 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

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.
