The Canadian Common CV (CCV) is required for all students who wish to apply for funding from SSHRC, CIHR and NSERC. It’s also required for all faculty and post-doctoral researchers who are applying for funding from the tri-council agencies. This workshop is designed for graduate students to help navigate the CCV system and to understand what are the most critical pieces of information that should be included. The workshop will also discuss how elements of the CCV are evaluated by review committees. The CCV is a time consuming process – start early and learn how to turn your CV into the CCV to apply for funding.
