We are writing to let you know that the (CGS M) are now available.
We would also like to inform you that the three federal research granting agencies鈥晅he Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council鈥昲ave revised the distribution of CGS 鈥扢aster鈥檚 (CGS M) and CGS 鈥扗octoral (CGS D) across the agencies. Please read the .
You will recall that, through Budget 2019, the Government of Canada significantly increased the number of CGS M and CGS D granted through the agencies. At the same time, the agencies were asked to review and revise the CGS distribution formula using the latest enrolment data across disciplines to ensure equitable distribution of scholarships among the agencies.
For the CGS D, the new formula is tied to Statistics Canada鈥檚 full-time doctoral enrolment data, excluding international students. At the master鈥檚 level, the formula is based on an average of doctoral and master鈥檚 enrolment, excluding professional programs and international students. The are recalculated on a bi-annual basis. The 2021-22 reallocations took the new distribution of scholarships by agency into account.
Please don鈥檛 hesitate to contact harmonization@cgs-besc.gc.ca if you have any questions about the institutional allocations and CGS distribution by agency.
