Have you heard the news? In 2025, Canada’s major research funder, the Tri-agency  - home of your favourite funders, NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR - is moving away from the Canadian Common CV to a new, narrative format CV, called the “tri-agency CV”. This new CV format will be rolled out for Tri-agency competitions over the next year, starting with the current SSHRC Impact Awards competition. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what narrative CVs are, what the tri-agency is looking for in a narrative CV, and share some resources for developing your own narrative CV.
