The Tri-Agency CV is coming, and no one feels ready for it.

Need some help? Join us and spend 2 hours building a system that saves time on every grant you write going forward.

Get ahead of the game and avoid the time and stress of navigating this transition alone.

High-Fidelity Science Communications' mission is to advance Canadian science by supporting our incredible researchers. The results of our research consulting, editing, and writing services speak for themselves: countless papers published and over $60M in research funding acquired since 2019.

That's why we've designed the CV Switchover Solution: to decrease your cognitive load and set you up for success with the Tri-Agency CV.

INTRODUCING

The CV Switchover Solution

Registration: $100 + HST

Your fee covers a spot in the room, the CV Switchover Solution workbook we’ll use during the session, and a workshop recording for future reference.

June 25, 2026 10:00–12:00

Kelley Memorial Building 210, UPEI

In this live workshop, you'll learn:

Why narrative CVs are an opportunity, not a burden
All the nitty gritty details on the Tri-Agency CV
How to see the stories in your accomplishments
How to build your Master Narrative CV using the CV Switchover Solution™️ workbook
How to quickly adapt it into strong, project-specific narrative CVs

How You'll Benefit

Let's face it, the switch from the Canadian Common CV to an entirely new format is daunting. Especially when it involves writing a 5-page story about yourself, following specific agency guidelines, for every Tri-Agency application you write for the rest of your career.

With the CV Switchover Solution, you'll build a Master Narrative CV that you can draw on again and again to efficiently and consistently generate strong, project-specific CVs.

Think about what you could do with that time:

A woman sitting at a desk, writing her actual grant proposal rather than a 5-page narrative CV. Some notebooks and a hot beverage are also on the desk.

Make real progress on your actual grant proposal

A multi-generational family in a forest, wearing sporty backbacks. They are photographed from behind, staring up at the tree canopy and celebrating the fact that none of them are sitting at home writing a 5-page narrative CV.

Hang out with the people who matter most

A white kitten with a grey nose and forehead, sleeping on a wooden plank, and decidedly not writing a 5-page narrative CV.

Or even nap! How great is napping?!

Reactions to the CV Switchover Solution workshop

“Very clear and helpful, many thanks!”

"This will save me a lot of time and stress in the long run"

"Thank you SO MUCH Nicole!"

Questions about the CV Switchover Solution

Who will benefit from attending the CV Switchover Solution workshop?

Canadian researchers who apply (or are planning to apply) for grants from CIHR, NSERC, and/or SSHRC. So, basically all of them.

The framework is also directly applicable to the CV-FRQ (for groups in Québec) and narrative CVs required by other agencies.

I won't need a narrative CV for a while still. Why think about this now?

Real talk: because if you don't, you'll most likely put it off until you do need one, and dealing with it then will take valuable hours away from your actual proposal (and, you know, your life).

The beauty of the CV Switchover Solution is that it's a one-and-done exercise. You build your Master Narrative CV once, in a guided workshop with coffee and your work buddies, and then you draw on it when you need it. No more low-grade, recurring stress about writing one someday, because you've already done the heavy lifting.

Do I need to have all the details of a grant proposal figured out to get started?

Nope! All you need to build your Master Narrative CV is the knowledge in your brain and the details in your CCV. And as an added perk: all you need to tailor it into a project-specific CV is an overall goal and a rough idea of the plan. That makes it easy to get your Tri-Agency CV out of the way before you even write the proposal.

I have another question. How do I reach out to you?

A system you set up once and use for every grant you write. That’s Self-Care for Scientists™️
