BUC Common CV Workshop

Leave a reply

A Canadian Common CV (CCV) workshop will be held at Brescia in June, in anticipation of upcoming Summer and Fall Tri-Council grant opportunities, such as CIHR’s Foundation and Project grant programs. The CIHR Foundation grant Notice of Intent to Apply deadline is expected to be late July and will require some version of a CIHR CCV. The SSHRC Insight Grants competition in the Fall, will continue to use the “old” Web-based CV platform and has not been migrated to the Research Portal.

Workshop overview: A CCV is quite often a required attachment for primary applicants and co-applicants when applying for various grant opportunities that use online application interfaces (CIHR, SSHRC, NSERC etc.). The CCV allows researchers to have a single CV that they can use to apply to multiple agencies. Building and maintaining a CCV can also be a time-consuming task. Researchers/applicants should give themselves enough time to complete the CCV process. This workshop will include 1) an overview of the basics of registering and establishing a CCV using the online system; 2) how to select a funding CV type; 3) how the various CCVs are linked to grant application portals; 4) and other functional components of the CCV. Time will be reserved for specific questions.

Date: Tuesday June 7, 2016

Time: 9:30am – 11:00am

Location: Cypress Meeting Room (Clare Hall)

Location: 3M Centre, Room 3250

Presentation Summary:
Megan Rose-Martel, NSERC Program Officer, will present an overview of the peer review process and advice will be given on how to prepare a Discovery Grant application. The workshop will cover topics such as Discovery Grant Evaluation Groups, criteria for evaluation and ratings, and tips on how to prepare an application. While the workshop will be most helpful to new faculty members and those preparing applications this Fall, all researchers are welcome to attend. A question period will follow the presentation.

CCV Information Sessions

In anticipation of major competitions this Fall that require the Canadian Common CV, Western Research Services is offering three CCV information sessions on campus this June and July. The major upcoming grant competitions include the CIHR Foundation and Project grants, and the NSERC Discovery grant, all of which will require a CCV.

Note: There are mandatory registration and Notification of Intent to Apply stages for both the CIHR Foundation grant and NSERC Discovery grant. The deadlines for the CIHR Foundation grant have not been officially announced, but it is expected to be sometime in late July. The NSERC deadline to apply is Monday, August 1 @8pm. A version of the CCV must accompany these submissions.

Anyone is welcome to attend any session. The sessions may be useful to those who haven’t had to use the CCV yet in applying for research funding. As the process can be time consuming, research staff recommend setting aside enough time in advance to complete the CCV process.

This info session will also take a look at the ResearchNet and Research Portal application submission systems.

Please RSVP to Louise Kilianski, louise.kilianski@uwo.ca indicating your name, department and which session you’d like to participate.

Canadian Common CV (CCV) Workshop

Leave a reply

A Canadian Common CV (CCV) workshop will be held at Brescia in February. A CCV is quite often a required attachment for primary applicants and co-applicants when applying for various grant opportunities that use online application interfaces (CIHR, SSHRC etc.). The CCV allows researchers to have a single CV that they can use to apply to multiple agencies. Building and maintaining a CCV can also be a time-consuming task.  In this workshop, we will review the basic instructions for registering and establishing a CCV using the online system. We will learn how to select a funding CV type using the online system and other functional components of the CCV.

Date: Friday, February 5th, 2016

Time: 9:30am – 11:00am

Location: MSJ Room 135

Please feel free to bring your CV and/or specific CCV questions with you, if you have them.

CCV Enhancements

Leave a reply

Updates to the Canadian Common CV (CCV)

Please note that effective June 29, 2015, the following changes have been implemented:

* Record selection management capability

Users who submit a Canadian Common CV to different organizations or to different competitions within the same organization are now able to manage their record selection for each individual Funding CV template. This enhancement allows users to:

  • Create, edit and save versions of each Funding CV template, each with its own customized record selection. This feature is particularly useful to users who need to submit the same type of Funding CV to multiple competitions;
  • Preserve the record selection made in each individual Funding CV template version;
  • View the number of records selected for submission while updating the record selection in each section of CV template versions.

Please note that when loading a template for the first time after June 29, 2015, or when creating a new template version, the record selection will be based on the Generic CV. Any changes in record selection thereafter will be version specific and will not impact any other templates or versions in the CCV. It is important to note that modifications to the CCV dataset (e.g. creating or deleting records, entering or deleting data in individual fields) will still be reflected across all templates and versions created by a user.

* Re-organization of Student/Postdoctoral Supervision records

To enhance the clarity of the Student/Postdoctoral Supervision section in the PDF output of the CCV, all records are now grouped based on the Study Level, followed by descending chronological order.

For any CCV questions or comments directed to CIHR, please contact CIHR at ccv-cvc@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.
