How to use this guide (a disclaimer)…
This step-by-step guide has been prepared to provide advice and
assistance to REACH, the CIHR CBR Collaborative (a program of
REACH), AIRN, PAN, and OHTN members in the development of their
Knowledge User CVs. It represents our best advice, based on
experience and knowledge of the CCV system, ResearchNet, and the
CIHR merit review process for the completion of Knowledge User CVs
for CIHR.
The new Common CV system is updated regularly. This guide was
accurate as of January 15, 2014; all applicants should refer to
instructions on the current CCV system for their CV submission.
The guide has not been reviewed or endorsed by CIHR or the
Canadian Common CV. For assistance and advice from CIHR, please
contact the CIHR CCV Helpdesk at 1-888-603-4178 or [email protected].

3. What is a Knowledge User?
• According to CIHR, a knowledge user is an individual:
• Who is likely to be able to use the knowledge
generated through research in order to make informed
decisions about health policies, programs and/or
practices;
• Whose level of engagement in the research process
may vary in intensity and complexity depending on the
nature of the research and their information needs;
• Who can be, but is not limited to, a practitioner, policymaker, educator, decision-maker, health care
administrator, community leader, or an individual in a
health charity, patient group, private sector
organization or a media outlet.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
On the Researchnet log in
page you can also find a direct
link to the CCV site by clicking
on “Common CV” in the
related tools section
-ORDo a Google search for
“Common CV” and the
first link should be to:
https://ccv-cvc.ca/
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
TIPS for getting started:
• If you already had a Common CV in the previous version, please note that
although data was migrated from the previous version, you should still verify
that it is correct.
• The knowledge user CV will only accept contributions (i.e., presentations, events,
etc) from the past 5 years – knowing this in advance might save you time in
gathering this information.
• If sections are not applicable, it is acceptable to leave them blank. Yet, do note
that once you start filling out a section, most require full details for each listing,
i.e. if you do not have the date of an event it will not allow you to include it.
• Many sections also allow you to indicate who funded the activity so please also
have this information handy if applicable.
• The Common CV holds all your CV data so that you can select which items you
would like to include in the CV you are submitting. For example, in the
Presentations section you may have entered dozens of presentations from the
last 5 years, but for a specific application, you may only choose to include
several. You can include or exclude items by clicking the box under the Submit
header and a small checkmark will either appear or disappear.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV

4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Before entering
information about your
CV, lets start by looking
at “consent.”
We can skip over the
history tab for now since
no CVs have been
submitted yet.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Since you have already
consented to the privacy
and data sharing consent
statements, click on the
view button next to
“Researchers Directory.”
This will take you to a new
page to view the content
for that consent item.
Review the consent statement and
select “Ok.” This will bring you back to
the main consent page. Sometimes
more information is required in order to
be included in the Directory. You will be
notified if this is the case. You will have
to update your CV and the re-submit to
be included in the Directory once the
conditions are satisfied.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Before entering
information about
your CV, you need to
register the agency
PIN number(s).

This is your home screen for entering in
your CV data.
Each section is listed, the number of
entries, and the date this information
was last updated. If you haven’t yet
entered any information you will see
“no entry.”
Each of these sections is clickable and
you will need to review them all (if you
previously had a KU CV then most of
your data has been moved over from
the old system but be sure to review it
all for accuracy and there will be more
information you will need to add )
To edit a field, click on the pencil icon
Once a section is complete, and there are no remaining errors ,
a green checkmark will appear . The check mark means that
the data selected is correct for the CV type but it is up to you to
make sure that it is correct for the funding opportunity.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Another addition to the new
platform is the second column,
“Included/entries.” Once you have
entered information into a section,
the number of specific entries will
be numbered here (for example, if
you included both English and
French as languages, the total
included would be 2).
“Included” means that you have
selected this entry to be submitted
with your CV. What you choose to
include may depend upon the
specific CV type and the funding
opportunity which we will discuss
more later.

applicable). You do not have to add an email for each of these. You may choose to only
add the email you access most often and set that as your primary.
• For website, add the URL for your organization or you can leave this blank (if it isn’t
required for the CV you are creating).
Adding a website: select the appropriate
website type from the drop down menu,
cut and paste your website address (URL)
into the space provided, and click “Done.”
If applicable, you could include a link to
social media rather than a webpage (i.e.
www.twitter.com/pan_cbr). NOTE: The KU
CV only allows one website to be included
so make sure you choose the most relevant.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV

rewards that were obtained and which were not directly related to your
research funding. Citations, Distinctions, Honours, and Prizes/Awards can be
included. You will need the Name of the recognition, the Organization that
issued/awarded it, the Effective Date, End Date, and Amount Awarded.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
EMPLOYMENT
Non-Academic Work Experience
You add and edit information in the same manner as
before. You can search for an organization by typing it in
and clicking on “Find.” If it doesn’t come up then type it
into the “Other” section at the bottom. But first you must
hit the clear button or you will get an error message
when you try to save your “other” entry. If your search
does turn up a result, verify and select the appropriate
organization type, country and subdivision (Province or
Territory). Continue to add positions until you are finished
and select “Done” to go back to the main page.
Academic Work Experience
Same as above, plus Department.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Affiliations
This is where you indicate which
position is your “primary.” For
example, you might work at one
organization, but also be the board
chair at another, or perhaps you
teach a course at a local college
once/year. Choose the primary
affiliation as the “hat” you are
wearing for this application.
If there was a time when you held a position but other
circumstances (health issues, parental responsibilities) meant that
you didn’t achieve your research goals, you can include an
explanation. For example, you held a full-time position within a
related field but your parental responsibilities prevented you from
having the time to publish, present, volunteer, or sit on extra
committees during that time (impact on research).
Leaves of Absences and Impact on
Research
Allows you to explain any gaps in
your CV (i.e. Study, Parental, Health,
Administrative…). Click on “Add” and
then enter the information as
required (leave type, start and end
dates, and the organization if
applicable).
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
RESEARCH FUNDING HISTORY
If you have been part of funded research
projects (i.e. listed as an investigator,
principal or co-knowledge user, collaborator
etc. – your funding role) you will need to list
these here.
You will need to list the other investigators
on the grant (including their funding roles)
by clicking on the add button. If there are
many other investigators, collaborators,
knowledge users, some people choose only

CONTRIBUTIONS Continued…
Publications
If you have authored any of the following type of
documents, you can add them to your CV, and will
need to include complete details for each
publication (Title, date, where it was published,
etc). There are links to the PubMed and university
systems to simplify entry, for example you can
enter the PubMed ID to import a citation.
Lets walk through an example using a
published journal article…
Publication Types:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Journal Articles
Books
Book Chapters
Book Reviews
Dissertations
Newspaper Articles
Magazine Entries
Reports
Working Papers
Manuals
Online Resources
Clinical Care Guidelines
Conference Publications
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
As with the previous sections, enter
all required information. Few
sections have specific formatting
requirements.
For example, Use the following
standard presentation model for
authors:
• Family name followed by a space
and by the initial of the first name,
without any punctuation.
• In the case of several authors, use
commas to separate their names.
• In the case of more than several
authors, end with et al.
• Do not enter any final punctuation.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
Using publications as the example, lets review one of the new features of the CCV, the green
checkmark.
According to CIHR’s “CCV Tips and Tricks for CIHR Applicants” (available at: http://www.cihrirsc.gc.ca/e/45578.html) a green checkmark indicates that the data selected meets the requirements
for the CV type. For example, if the funding CV requires that you select three publications and three
publications have been selected, then a green checkmark will be displayed.
However, you may find that the publications selected may not be the most appropriate choice for the
funding application you are creating the CV for. For example, if CIHR requires that you list three
biomedical publications and the last time that you entered the CCV you selected three social science
publications, then CCV will prepopulate these publications and indicate a green checkmark. In this
case, you will need to unselect the three social science publications and select three biomedical
publications.
You must remember to verify your data every time you are updating your CV for a funding
application in order to ensure that the data selected meets the requirements in the CIHR funding
opportunity.
4. Creating a Knowledge User CV
The last section on the CCV is Intellectual Property.
You can indicate whether you hold any of the following, including all relevant details,
numbers and dates:
• Patents
• Licenses
• Disclosures
• Registered Copyrights
• Trademarks
You are now ready to preview and submit your CV!
5. Submitting Your CV
Step 1: When all sections
have green checkmarks
and you are sure that you
have entered all
information, click
“Preview” on the main CV
page. Go over your CV
carefully to make sure
that all details are correct
and that it meets the
funding application
requirements.
Note: Once you click on
preview, a box will pop up
asking if you want to save
or open the PDF of your
CV. It is a good idea to
save a copy.
5. Submitting Your CV
