Reminder: TCV Workshop Next Week and TCV update
by ORIS, Health and Medical Sciences 30 May '25

30 May '25

Good morning everyone, I hope your last week of May is going well! I am reaching out to remind you that next week, on Wednesday, June 4, Nicole van Rootselaar and Nancy Barajas Jaimes are presenting Turning Your CV into a Compelling Narrative: A Tri-agency CV (TCV) Workshop in AH 177 at 10:00 AM. We will provide a 20 minute overview of the narrative format and discuss why the Tri-agencies are making this change. The remainder of the workshop is to cover questions, and begin to reframe your current CV and accomplishments into the new narrative format. We know there is a lot of uncertainty around when the Tri-agencies will make this new format mandatory. The Tri-agencies have shared that the TCV may be required for all grant applications starting in Fall 2027. This is tentative, and the TCV could be universally adopted earlier, but it will likely take longer. This is in part due to the many archaic online portal systems used by SSHRC, CIHR, and NSERC. They are working together to create a new, single platform for all grant applications, and they will not fully adopt the TCV until this platform is ready to use. The Tri-agencies have reiterated that even though the timeline is unclear, they intend to universally adopt the TCV, and retire all other CV formats. While this means you might not need a TCV until Fall 2027, we encourage you to be proactive in this process, as it is possible you will be required to use this format sooner than you expect. It takes time, multiple drafts and reviews to adapt a 20+ page list into an impactful 5-page story. Finally, please remember that some international awards and select Tri-agency opportunities already require a TCV. Examples for upcoming competitions include:** SSHRC: Policy Innovation Partnership Grants (PIPG), Indigenous Capacity and Leadership Connection Grant, Indigenous Science and the Impacts of Plastic Pollution, Destination Horizon Grants and SSHRC Impact Awards. CIHR: Planning and Dissemination Grants, GA4GH: CIHR National Genomics Data Sharing Initiative. NSERC: Discovery Horizon grants **Please note this is not an exhaustive list. Other Tri-agency opportunities may require a TCV. If you have any questions, please reach out to your research facilitator. ORIS will plan to host more workshops as the Tri-agencies release more information and require the TCV format for more opportunities. Outside of the workshop, with enough notice, we are happy to support your TCV development alongside your proposal. Best, Nicole, Campbell, and Esther Nicole van Rootselaar (she/her) Research Facilitator (Health/Medical Sciences) Office of Research & Innovation Sciences B634, University Hall University of Lethbridge 4401 University Drive W Lethbridge, AB T1K 3Y4 (P) 403-332-4433 | (E) oris.health(a)uleth.ca<mailto:oris.health@uleth.ca> Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone.

Research Security Update
by Fasunwon, Sola 22 May '25

22 May '25

Dear Colleagues, I wanted to inform you that the Government of Canada has updated the STRAC FAQ<https://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/safeguarding-your-research/guidelines…> page to include new information on validation and enforcement (see questions #22-26): * 22. How will research applications be validated for compliance? * 23. How and when will grant applications be selected for validation? * 24. Who is conducting the validation, and what information is shared with them? * 25. Is the primary applicant responsible for the validity of the attestations of other members of their research team? * 26. What happens if findings are uncovered that indicate a potential policy breach? If you would like more information about STRA and STRAC policy, please refer to our page: https://www.ulethbridge.ca/research/federal-policy-sensitive-technology-res… Please let me know if you have any questions.

by Fasunwon, Sola 20 May '25

20 May '25

Good morning, See below for a message sent on behalf of Dr. Jacqueline Rice. Our last brown-bag lunch on graduate supervision is today at noon in W646, or online at https://uleth.zoom.us/j/95860321660. We will be talking about supervisory committee meetings and the progress and standing reports that come out of them. This will be a chance to share ideas, especially about how we can deal with the difficult situations where a student is not performing well. I hope to see many of you there! Marc R.

ORIS Seminar Reminder: Generative AI in the development and review of research grant proposals
by Ekpe Adewuyi, Esther 20 May '25

20 May '25

ORIS Seminar Reminder: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 Title: The use of Generative AI in the development and review of research grant proposals Overview: The use of Generative AI in academic research is hotly debated because it offers many benefits, alongside unique challenges, and risks. Generative AI can help generate novel research ideas based on existing literature. For example, it can scan many scientific papers and propose potential research gaps or areas that have not been previously explored. It can also be used to draft and structure research proposals by providing literature reviews, defining research questions, suggesting methodologies, and predicting possible outcomes. Research proposals for grant applications require clear, precise, and persuasive language, and AI models can refine text to these ends to increase the chances of funding. Given these powerful capabilities, researchers and funders should consider the risks associated with using this technology, including the ethics of reliance on these tools, concerns about intellectual ownership and confidentiality, and the quality and quantity of generated research proposals. Presenter: Michael Lam, NSERC's Chief Data Officer Audience: Faculty members and trainees Disciplines: Health and Life Sciences Social Sciences and Humanities Natural Sciences and Engineering Date: May 21, 2025 | 10:00 to 11:00 am Venue: Zoom Join Zoom Meeting<https://uleth.zoom.us/j/93354841411?pwd=90hefR7dCF0rbjMXfbnVtnS50bGHNa.1> Meeting ID: 933 5484 1411 Passcode: 870303 Register to Attend: Link to Registration<https://uleth.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_07yHa5C52ZnGCma>
