SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS Research-related contributions refers to entries listed in the following CCV sections: Publications Artistic Contributions Presentations Interviews and Media Relations Intellectual Property Choose up to 3 research-related contributions listed in your CCV, and describe their significance in terms of: influence on the direction of thought and activity within the target community significance to, and use by, other researchers and knowledge users Keep in mind, you want to show your sphere of influence on research programs institutions (e.g., research, cultural) research communities (e.g., local, international) society at large (e.g., regional, national) SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES www.mun.ca/sgs/
SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS Tips: Show us the context at the time so we can understand the gap/problem, and then explain how you addressed that problem to leave an impact Reviewers may not be familiar with the journals or conferences you mention; explain how important they are in your field. Include quotes about your work if you have any; other people saying you re awesome usually means more than you saying you re awesome. Choose up to 3 research-related contributions listed in your CCV, and describe their significance in terms of: influence on the direction of thought and activity within the target community significance to, and use by, other researchers and knowledge users Keep in mind, you want to show your sphere of influence on research programs institutions (e.g., research, cultural) research communities (e.g., local, international) society at large (e.g., regional, national) SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES www.mun.ca/sgs/
SIGNIFICANCE OF LEADERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS Choose up to 3 activities/ memberships listed in your CCV, and describe their significance and relevance to your proposal and professional intent. Describe their significance in terms of demonstrating your leadership (clearly defined) and level of influence at the institutional level and beyond. Discuss the impact and importance of these activities in terms of your career aspirations (aspirations come up again later in Research Proposal) If leadership opportunities in your research environment were not available to you, mention it. Again, quotes are good to include. Activities and memberships refer to any of the following CCV entries: Teaching Activities Supervisory Activities Administrative Activities Advisory Activities Assessment and Review Activities Participation Activities Community and Volunteer Activities Knowledge and Technology Translation International Collaboration Activities Committee Memberships Other Memberships SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES www.mun.ca/sgs/
SIGNIFICANCE OF LEADERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS Tips: Aim for a leadership narrative Applicants often list what they ve done, but what is more impactful is the narrative of why you ve done what you did the purpose that drives you how your leadership qualities are reflected in the choices you ve made to fulfil that purpose. How has your passion been translated into you actively seeking out these opportunities, and the particular leadership style that you bring to these opportunities to advance your purpose? Tips: Aim for a leadership narrative Leaders have a vision that they fulfil through carefully planned action. They recognize needs in their fields or their communities, and/or see problems unfolding before others, and they put plans into action. We want to go beyond simply what you have done, to the reasons you have done it, so we can see the leader in you. So, for each of these three contributions, start with your why , then tell us what you did and the impact it had. SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES www.mun.ca/sgs/
