Standard Research Agreement - The University of Guelph's Standard Research Agreement (formerly, Grant Agreement or Grant-in-Aid Agreement) may be used for research projects that follow the elements of a Research Grant.

Collaborative Research Agreement - The University of Guelph's Collaborative Research Agreement is used for sponsored research governed by terms that go beyond a Research Grant. 

Please see the research agreement templates and determine which template is the right fit for your research needs.

Canadian Common CV

The CCV is a web-based application that provides researchers with a single, common approach to gathering CV information required by a network of federal, provincial and not-for-profit research funding organizations.

All of the Tri-Councils (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) have migrated (or are in the process of migrating) their legacy CV systems to the new Canadian Common CV (CCV).
