CIHR or NSERC??? Help please!

[hannah.lo]

Hey everyone,

I'm applying to McGill's Master of Dental Science. The research I'm interested in has a bit of an oral public health twist to it. Should I be applying to NSERC or CIHR? I'm leaning towards more CIHR, but both awards are science based research so am a little confused.

A bit about myself, as an undergrad I did not always take on a full course load. However, without first year my overal gpa hovers at about 3.6. I have worked in 3 labs over the past 5 years and received an undergrad nserc during the summer.

Any advice?

Thanks!
