Research Rendezvous: Drafting Your First Tri-Agency Narrative CV

Join the Office of Research & Innovation for a practical, evidence-based 90-minute presentation on how to write the new, narrative-style Tri-Agency CV, which is replacing the Canadian Common CV (CCV) across CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC funding programs. Led by Dr. Letitia Henville, an award-winning freelance academic editor and author of the University Affairs column “Ask Dr. Editor,” this session will show you how to move beyond simply listing your outputs and toward articulating the outcomes and impacts of your work — the changes, benefits, and evidence of influence that make a narrative CV compelling to peer reviewers. Drawing on original interviews with over 150 Tri-Agency reviewers, Dr. Henville will walk you through how to write each required section of the CV: Personal Statement, Most Significant Contributions & Experiences, and Supervision & Mentorship. Participants will also receive six English- and six French-language narrative CV templates, annotated example contributions, and links to relevant resources.
