IRCHSS Awards 2010 (Statement 19 May 2010)

IRCHSS has issued results to all applicants of its 2010 Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Schemes. All applicants, unsuccessful and successful will be advised in letter post only (not email). If you have not received your letter by 26 May 2010 please email info@irchss.ie with your correct address details. Please note, we cannot in any circumstances, email you the results or relay them over the telephone. Institutions will be notified shortly of their successful awards, however, successful applicants should contact their institutions and supervisors/mentors as soon as possible.

As per the letter feedback will only be issued by the end of September 2010. Feedback, including scores and percentile ranks will ONLY be provided in writing.

Feedback cannot be discussed over the telephone or by email. IRCHSS does not operate an appeals process and the decision made by the International Assessment Board is final. Whilst we appreciate the disappointment of unsuccessful applicants we hope you will also understand how competitive the process was this year due the high number of applications, for both schemes, and the reduction in awards made due to budgetary constraints.
