A Curriculum Vitae:A Common Component of Applications and Proposals
The Curriculum Vitae: Some Basics
• Curriculum vitae (commonly called a CV): the academic equivalent of a resume– How do a resume and a CV tend to differ?
• Lists your education, experience, publications, honors, etc
• Often required in proposals to help show that you are qualified for what you are proposing
• What are some other uses of a CV?
A Resource
• From the Columbia University Center for Career Education
• Includes advice and a sample CV• URL:
http://www.careereducation.columbia.edu/resources/tipsheets/resumes-and-cvs-curriculum-vitae
Example: A CV of anEarly-Career Researcher
Standardized CVs
• Required by some granting agencies• Have specific instructions to follow—for
example, regarding– Types of information to include– Organization of information– Length
• A brief look at an example
Preparing a CV to Use in a Proposal
• Follow instructions carefully.• In general, use reverse chronological
order.• Emphasize items that help show you’re
well qualified for what you’re seeking. – What might be some examples?– Therefore you may have different versions of
your CV for different purposes.
Preparing a CV: More Tips
• If an item may be unclear to readers, include a brief explanation.
• When listing papers you have written for publication:– If a paper has been accepted but not yet
published, list it under Publications as “In press” or “Forthcoming”.
– If a paper has been submitted but not yet accepted, generally list it under Research rather than Publications.
Preparing a CV: More Tips
• Don’t include items that aren’t very relevant to the proposal (examples: height, weight, marital status, high school attended, hobbies).
An Idea
• For appropriate examples, look on the Web for CVs of people in your field.
