Agency-specific doctoral awards

In addition to the CGS D, each agency has its own doctoral awards. Refer to the appropriate literature for CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC for further details.

Meritorious CGS D applicants may also be eligible for agency-specific doctoral awards. Applicants complete and submit one application to be considered for both a CGS D scholarship and an agency doctoral award. CGS D scholarships are offered to top-ranked eligible applicants.

Number of months

Eligibility for CGS D is based on the number of months of full-time study, including summer months, toward the degree for which you are requesting funding by听December听31 of the calendar year of application. Two terms of part-time study count as one term of full-time study.

Note: The agencies count all studies toward the doctoral degree for which funding is requested, whether or not they were completed at the degree-granting institution.

Fast-track and joint programs

Fast-track: If you were registered in a master鈥檚 program and subsequently transferred to a doctoral program (fast-track), the months of study completed are calculated starting from the date on which you transferred into the doctoral program.

If you are registered in a听joint professional undergraduate/PhD program听(such as MD/PhD, JD/PhD, DVM/PhD), only the months of study in the PhD portion will be counted.

• Students seeking support for interdisciplinary research in areas covered by more than one of the granting agencies听NSERC,听CIHR听and听SSHRC听(for example, research in听Biomedical Engineering) should听refer to听 鈥�听well before the deadline.
• For questions on how to categorize a proposal, consult with the granting agency webpage at
