Canadian Common CV - on-line training now available

(2012-07-25) On-line training for the renewed Canadian Common CV (CCV) for CIHR applicants is now available.

General information about the renewed CCV for all subscribers can be found on the CCV website.

All CIHR applicants who submit their applications after June 19, 2012 are required to use the renewed CCV.

The look and feel of the CCV, as well as the information requirements for CIHR applicants has changed. CIHR applicants will choose from three CV templates, depending on their roles and the application stage:

• Registration CV template
• Academic CV template (replaces Full Application CV)
• Knowledge User CV template

Additional CCV templates for CIHR applicants will be created to reflect requirements for the redesign of CIHR’s open suite of programs and peer review system and will be available as the reforms are implemented.

The majority of data (approximately 90%) for existing CCV users was migrated to the new CCV; however, applicants are advised that additional time will be required to enter contributions as data and to complete expertise fields, even though you will be able to upload your contribution details in a PDF file while completing your application on ResearchNet.

Further communications relating to the CCV will soon be available.
