The deadline for submitting applications for the Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s Program (CGS M) via the Research Portal has been extended to Thursday, December 5, 2013 at 2:00pm Vancouver time (5:00 pm Eastern Time). Please note applications already received by the granting agencies are not impacted.

IMPORTANT: The Research Portal will be unavailable on Wednesday, December 4, from 6 to 8:00 a.m. (ET) due to scheduled maintenance.

Applicants are invited to review the instructions and other support materials available on the CGSM website (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/CGSHarmonization-HarmonizationBESC_eng.asp), including frequently asked questions.  For technical support, applicants should contact the Online Services Helpdesk (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/ContactUs-ContactezNous/index_eng.asp). As they are currently experiencing a high volume of calls, it is preferable to send an e-mail to webapp@nserc-crsng.gc.ca or webgrant@sshrc-crsh.gc.cawith specific details on the issue they are experiencing. This should expedite the response time.
