Common CV

The Common CV (CCV) Network is a partnership of Canadian funding organizations that provides research funding with the aim of working together to streamline the process researchers use to submit their Curriculum Vitae (CV) with grant applications. The web-based system allows for researchers to manage their CV in one place with the ability to share it with all member organizations.

We require all applicants for our Competitive Research Programs to complete the CCV as part of the application process.

Researchers with CVs already in the Canadian CCV system will need to update them and complete some NSHRF-specific sections.

Validating the PIN for NSHRF/Common CV

All applicants or team members with an academic appointment require a NSHRF-Validated CCV. After completing all the required information on the CCV, users will need to validate their PIN. Please see the following document for more information, Process for Validating Common CV Pin. (PDF Attachment). This is a comparison of your information in the CCV and the EGMS system in order to match your accounts. Once you validate and submit your CCV, you will need to provide your EGMS account information (Email address and EGMS Password) in order to successfully validate your CV. Once this is done, your CCV will be made part of the application. Please be aware that it is not possible to submit without validated CV's. Please contact the helpdesk at NSHRF if you encounter any issue
