REMINDER
_________________________________________________________________________________

Dear graduate programs,

Please remind your Tri-Agency Doctoral applicants (ie. CIHR CGS-D, NSERC PGS-D, NSERC CGS-D, SSHRC CGS-D, SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship) that they must submit their application (click “submit” in the application system) by the application deadline (September 13 at 12:00 noon PT).  This step is required in order for their application to be considered.  Please advise your students to submit their application well in advance of the application deadline.
Late application submissions will not be considered and will be ruled ineligible.

How to submit a Tri-Agency Doctoral application:

CIHR

• On the task list page, go to “Consent and Submit” and click on “Submit to Research Institution”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees (“sponsors”) in advance of the application deadline if references are missing. Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: ResearchNet will not permit the application to be submitted if UBC’s application deadline of September 13 at 12:00 noon PT has passed.

NSERC

• On ‘Portfolio’ page, click “Verify”.  This step will indicate if there are any incomplete sections in the application.  Then, click “Submit”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references (“Reports on the Applicant”) are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees in advance of the application deadline if references are missing.  Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: The NSERC system is not able to list UBC’s application deadline, but the date and time of submission is recorded (i.e., every application is time-stamped).  To be eligible, applicants are required to submit their application in the system by September 13 at 12:00 noon PT.

SSHRC

• On ‘My Portfolio’ page, click “Verify” for both ‘Curriculum Vitae’ and ‘Form’.  This step will indicate if there are any incomplete sections in the application.  Then, click “Submit”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees in advance of the application deadline if references are missing.  Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: The SSHRC system is not able to list UBC’s application deadline, but the date and time of submission is recorded (i.e., every application is time-stamped).  To be eligible, applicants are required to submit their application in the system by September 13 at 12:00 noon PT.
