  5. Workshop: Drafts of Introduction, Discussion, and Abstract • Read your group members’ introductions, discussions, and abstracts fairly quickly, to get the general meaning. • Read each more carefully, and write comments. • Discuss each, noting strengths and then providing suggestions. • Give the commented-on material to the authors. • Note: If you don’t have time to finish in class, I encourage you to continue later.

  6. A Curriculum Vitae:A Common Component of Applications and Proposals

  7. 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?

  8. 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

  9. Example: A CV of anEarly-Career Researcher

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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).

  14. An Idea • For appropriate examples, look on the Web for CVs of people in your field. • Questions?

  15. Homework for Monday • Reading: Chapters 23 and 25 in textbook • Browsing: 3 review papers in your field • Writing due: draft of your curriculum vitae (please bring copies for your group members, Dr. Aiello, and me)
