Important Changes to CV Formatting for Research Applications

Posted on: Nov 18, 2020

Ìý

Effective immediately, CUE Research will no longer accept CAQC-format or free-form CV for applications for internal grants and other awards.

Ìý

CUE Research will now only accept -formatted documents as part of an application. The decision was made to provide consistency in the application process; in addition, the (CAQC) has phased out the use of the CAQC CV format. This change will also help those who are considering applying or have already applied for Tri-Agency funding.

Ìý

Which services of the ORS are affected by this change?

These are the competitions for which CAQC or free-form CV are no longer accepted:

  • Applications for all streams of our Internal Research Grants (Seed, Impact, CUE-NSE, etc.)
  • Competitions administered by CUE Research (SSHRC Explore and Exchange)
  • Competitions under the Collective Agreement, for which the Office of Research Services provides support (Sabbatical Leave and Reduction in Teaching for Research Purposes)

We will continue to accept free-form CV only for Student Research Grant competitions.
