SSHRC Internal Travel

SSHRC Internal Conference Travel Awards are to enable faculty, academic librarians and post-doctoral fellows to take part in research-related meetings/conferences of major scholarly significance in disciplines normally supported by SSHRC. The program will fund participation in both regular international congresses and more narrowly focused conferences and seminars which take place more than (500 kilometers) from London, Ontario; applicants must be presenting a paper at the conference. Breadth of participation and decanal recommendation will be two major criteria for determining whether or not an award should be made.

Amount: $7,000 (maximum) The awards cover travel and subsistence costs only.

Deadlines:
Faculty Research Office: July 9, 2012 (2-3 weeks prior if you wish feedback on your proposal – submit to Karen Kueneman)
Research Western: July 16, 2012, 4:30 p.m.

Eligibility: A Principal Investigator (PI) must hold an academic appointment with a significant research component at UWO and must be eligible to hold a research account

Timing of Conference: Conferences held within one year of the competition deadline are eligible.

Forms must be accompanied by a ROLA proposal

CIHR – Common CV News

The renewed Canadian Common CV (CCV) will be implemented on June 19, 2012 for all CCV subscriber agencies, including CIHR. All CIHR applicants who submit their applications on or after June 19, 2012 will be required to use the renewed Canadian Common CV (CCV).

The look and feel of the CCV, as well as the information requirements for CIHR applicants will be changing. CIHR applicants will choose from three CV templates, depending on their roles and the application stage:

* Registration CV template
* Academic CV template (replaces Full Application CV)
* Knowledge User CV template

Additional CCV templates for CIHR applicants will be created to reflect requirements for the redesign of CIHR’s open suite of programs and peer review system and will be available as the reforms are implemented.

The majority of data (approximately 90%) for existing CCV users will be migrated to the new CCV, however, applicants are advised that additional time will be required to enter contributions as data and to complete expertise fields.

Please note that the CCV will not be available between Saturday, June 16 at 7:00 am ET and Tuesday, June 19 at 6:00 pm ET in order to complete the data migration to the new CCV. 

More information, including CIHR-specific instructions and/or guidelines, will be provided through the “CIHR Funding News” electronic communique and on the CIHR website in June. General information about the renewed CCV for all subscribers can be found on the CCV website, http://www.commoncv.net/renewal_e.html.
