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.
