Canadian Common CV (CCV)

The Canadian Common CV (CCV) is an online application that provides researchers with a single way to gather the CV information required by a network of federal, provincial and not-for-profit research funding organizations, including the Tri-Council agencies. The CCV ensures CV information provided by researchers is accessible (with consent from the researcher) by member agencies to support their funding application process.

Benefits

• The CCV will lighten the load on the research community in the long term
• Once data is entered, only updating is required, and it can be re-used for future applications including:
  • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)
  • Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
  • Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
  • Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI)

While the CCV is being implemented as a staged rollout, all researchers are encouraged to start entering their CV information early as it can be extremely time consuming filling in the required fields the first time.

For specific CCV related questions, please contact the Grants Officer responsible for the agency to which you are applying or contact the CCV helpdesk.
