Jordynn,
Just a bit to add to the discussion so far. In reviewing the comments,
I'm not sure whether the distinction between Doctoral Fellowships and
Research Grants is being kept in mind.
I received a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship to complete my doctorate in
Rhetoric and Composition, but was continually rejected in applications
for a Research Grant later. The supporting letters from Rhetoric and
Comp. referees were very strong, but invariably SSHRC went to its own
referees in English, regardless of which category I applied to. The
combination of English and Rhetoric referees did not work for me.
Of course, my applications may indeed have lacked substance, but I prefer
not to admit that!!
Anyway, you might keep the distinction between Doctoral Fellowship and
Research Grant in mind.
Good luck,
Henry Hubert
