Overview: In October 2024, the Tri-agencies released a statement that narrative CVs, also called the "Tri-agency CV" would be required for future applications. Since this announcement, select competitions (SSHRC Impact Award, CIHR Catalysts, NSERC Discovery Horizons) have tested the narrative CV format. A full-rollout date is not confirmed, but the Tri-agencies hinted Spring 2026 as a possible implementation deadline for major grants. Upcoming Tri-agency grant competitions may choose to use the TCV format. For example, the CIHR Planning and Dissemination grant for Summer 2025 requires the TCV format.
Join ORIS for an interactive workshop where you'll learn about the narrative CV format and begin crafting your own research narrative. Through guided activities and discussion, you will gain practical tools and feedback to help you prepare for this important update.
We recommend bringing your laptop and a copy of a recent CV.
Presenters: Nicole van Rootselaar and Nancy Barajas Jaimes, ORIS
Audience: Faculty members and trainees

Hello U of L Research Community!
The Mitacs Globalink Research Internship (GRI) program pairs Canadian researchers with highly qualified international interns for 12 weeks over the summer. The U of L will be hosting several interns in 2025, and the call is now open for faculty to submit project proposals for 2026.
Submitting a project proposal is straightforward and takes roughly 30 minutes. Professors can submit applications<https://www.mitacs.ca/our-programs/globalink-research-internship-professors/> until June 5, 2025, at 1 p.m. PT. For more information, see the included infographic and visit the GRI website for professors (here)<https://www.mitacs.ca/our-programs/globalink-research-internship-professors/>.
Mitacs funding covers (or significantly subsidizes) the following expenses:
* Airfare and ground transportation to the university
* Housing and accommodation
* Student enrolment and emergency health insurance
* Support from student mentors and access to events and professional development
To be eligible for hosting interns as part of the GRI program, professors must:
1. Have one of the following statuses at an eligible institution: Full professor, Associate professor, Assistant professor, Adjunct professor, Emeritus professor.
2. Be able to supervise international students at their institution.
3. Be able to host interns within the stipulated dates of the GRI program: Internships must start between May 1 and July 31 and must be carried out over the course of 12 consecutive weeks (accommodation through the U of L cannot be guaranteed for interns whose start date is after June 1).
If you have more questions about the program or application process, please reach out to me (oris.pcc(a)uleth.ca<mailto:oris.pcc@uleth.ca>). Once students are selected for the program, their journey at the U of L is facilitated by the International Office – Contact Kimiko Minamide (minadk(a)uleth.ca<mailto:minadk@uleth.ca>) for more details. If you would like to hear about others’ experiences with the program, we can connect you with current faculty who have been hosting interns for several years.
All the best!

Good afternoon everyone,
Welcome to the Spring semester! I know you are just starting to enjoy the sunshine and longer days, but the purpose of this email is to remind you that Fall is around the corner, and the Fall Project Grant Competition will launch on July 3, 2025, and registration is due August 13, 2025. This is only three months away.
For the Fall 2024 Project Grant competition, CIHR reported that 258 applications were submitted from Alberta,<https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/54191.html> and 55 were funded. This is a 21.3% success rate (Alberta had the second highest provincial success rate). The median amount awarded in Alberta was $918,000.
I would like to beat these 1 in 5 odds this fall. To help you achieve this, ORIS is launching a CIHR Summer Working group. This workgroup will include emails sent twice per month with resources related to a specific topic (all resources will be uploaded to the internal CIHR page<https://uleth.sharepoint.com/sites/research-services/SitePages/CIHR-Project…>). Some of the topics/resources I have prepared include: budgeting worksheet, budgeting tips and information, data management information, knowledge mobilization, and sex and gender and CIHR.
Beyond emails and resources, peer review and peer engagement have been shown to increase application success. This summer is a great opportunity to meet monthly (or more frequently) before the registration deadline and discuss some of these topics, possibly share a section from your grant and receive and provide feedback.
If you are interested in applying to the Project Grant the fall, or just learning more about the process, please complete this short survey<https://uleth.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_51GUSqRJTL3IVyS> by Monday, May 12. You can also reply to this email to be included in the resource emails.
You can also mark your calendars now for a virtual presentation/workshop from Dr. Rob Sutherland on Wednesday, August 6, from 10:00-11:30am. More information and registration will be available closer to the date.
Thank you for your time, have a great rest of your week.
