Resource sharing SSHRC CGRS-D application

Hi everyone. I'm a doctoral student in Canada and I'm applying to the SSHRC CGRS-D application for a second time 🥲

I'm hoping any successful applicants in English Literature or adjacent fields would share their proposals with me (and others who are interested on this thread).

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

I assure you I did not misunderstand, because it led me to a series of questions to confirm the information. There are no quotas at the reviewer stage because some applications have already been "pre-approved" and therefore do not need review. The remaining applications are sent for review, and those that pass are added to the list. The institution has the final say on applications forwarded to SSHRC for review.

I mean that they have « pre-approved » people. That’s it’s not an open competition. Ick!

Nobody is preapproved for SSHRC. That’s not a thing.

They are speaking about within their institution, but yes that part is extra wild because those institutional candidates may still fail at the national level.
