Dr Tammy Clifford (Canadian Institutes of Health Research), Alejandro Adem (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council), and Dr Ted Hewitt (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) have announced that the tri-agency granting councils will transition away from the Canadian Common CV format. The granting councils will instead use a narrative-style CV that allows users to share their career trajectories and research outputs in greater detail. Clifford, Adem, and Hewitt explain that this change aligns with shifts occurring within other funding agencies and enables societal research outcomes like mentorship to be valued alongside traditional indicators. Clifford, Adem, and Hewitt added that “users will be provided with clear instructions and learning opportunities to understand how to navigate the new tri-agency CV.”
