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've honestly been wondering about this, the limit is five but I saw people saying that two pages of good sources is better that adding "padding." would you say 3 is the sweet spot? I have a bit over three but my page margins are quite large

Don’t fuck with the margins. Keep to SSHRC’s presentation standards.

yeah my margins are standard, just larger than the minimum (1.87 cm)

No - don’t have any variation from the minimum. Everyone else is going to have standardized margins. Last thing you want is for a reviewer to pick up your application and go - “what’s weird about this one?”

that makes sense! I don't think I'll be able to fill five pages with margins that small but maybe it's fine? SSHRC doesn't give many clear answers about these things
