Curriculum Vitae
Instructions (Web)

Introduction

All participants (applicants and co-applicants) must complete or update their own SSHRC on-line CV using their Internet browser. We suggest that you print and consult this document and the Help with Online Forms document while you are completing your on-line CV. You may also refer to this document by clicking on "Instructions" at any time within a screen. This will link you directly to the instructions for the screen you are completing.

Applicant (not applicable to postdoctoral applicants)
When you submit electronically your application to the research administrator at your institution, the system will attach a copy of your CV to your application. By clicking "Submit", you confirm that all information provided is accurate and that you accept the Terms of Use. The act of "submitting" an application to the research administrator constitutes your electronic approval and replaces your handwritten signature.

Co-applicants (not applicable to postdoctoral applicants)
The act of "accepting" an applicant’s electronic invitation to participate in an application constitutes your electronic approval and replaces your handwritten signature. The system will also attach a copy of your CV to the application when it is forwarded to SSHRC.

When the research administrator at your institution forwards electronically your application to SSHRC (signed paper copies will no longer be necessary), the data provided in the on-line CVs and application form are then transferred to SSHRC's corporate database.

Identification

Only the information in the "Name" and "Language Proficiency" sections will be made available to selection committee members and/or external assessors. The information you provide in the "Citizenship" and "Statistical and Administrative Information" sections will be used by SSHRC for administrative and statistical purposes only. Filling out the Statistical and Administrative Information section is optional.

Names and Initials
SSHRC will use the information you provide in the Given Name, Initials, and Family Name boxes to address its correspondence to you.

If you use your second or third name as your given name, see the examples below for help in completing the initials box.

Example 1: A.J. Paul Moore
If you prefer to have your initials appear before your given name, you would enter:

SSHRC correspondence would address you as Mr. A.J. Paul Moore.

Example 2: Joanne Francine Mélanie Trudeau (normally addressed as Mélanie)
If you usually use your second or third name as your given name and do not want your initials appearing before your given name, you would enter:

SSHRC correspondence would address you as Ms. Mélanie J.F. Trudeau.

Language Proficiency

Indicate your proficiencies in both official languages, and any other languages.

Citizenship

Indicate your citizenship status by selecting the appropriate option button and answering the applicable questions. Permanent residents should specify the date of permanent residency.

Applicants who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of Canada may now apply to SSHRC's grant programs. However, they must be employed in teaching or research by the administering institution for the entire duration of the award—unless the eligibility criteria of the program to which they are applying explicitly states otherwise.

If you are applying for a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship, you must either be a Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident of Canada by the competition deadline date.

Note: The above restriction does not apply to applicants and co-applicants who are citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Please consult the Definitions section of SSHRC's Web site for more information on applicant.

Foreign researchers are eligible to apply as co-applicants to selected SSHRC programs. Please consult the Definitions section of SSHRC's Web site for more information on "Co-applicants".

Statistical and Administrative Information

Postal Code
Enter the postal code from your permanent address in Canada (do not include spaces or dashes, e.g., KIP6G4).

Council Identification (CID) Number
The Council Identification (CID) number is a unique identifier that SSHRC assigns to each participant. It is used primarily as an identification key for SSHRC's corporate database and to help us communicate with our clients. If you already have your CID number, enter it here. If you do not know this number, contact the program officer responsible for your committee. If you do not have one yet, please leave this box blank, and SSHRC will assign a CID to you.

Current Position

Enter your current place of employment or university affiliation and your "Contact Information" in this section. If you have changed positions, click on the "New Current Position" button to create a new position. Your previous position will automatically be included in the Work Experience screen.

If you wish the Council to use another address in order to contact you, specify it under the "Correspondence Address" section of the Address screen.

For countries other than Canada and the United States, select the "Other" address format and enter the city/municipality, province or state and postal or zip code in the address lines.

Contact Information

The following information will help us contact you more rapidly.
