Scheduled CCV Upgrade: May 17 – 20, 2013
The CCV is continuously making improvements based on feedback received from the research community and its member agencies.
The next release of the CCV will improve the search functionality, remove the need to select a subdivision for countries other than Canada or USA and properly sort PubMed articles. The software upgrade will be done this week-end and as a result, the system will not be available starting at 6:00 pm EST on Friday 17th of May, for about 48 hours.
Please note that if you had a subdivision for a country other than Canada or USA previously selected in your CV, it will automatically be changed to “Not Required” after the software upgrade. Existing PubMed publication dates will be converted to CCV’s date format (YYYY-MM-DD), based on the table given below. Existing PubMed publication dates that you manually entered and that do not match one of the formats listed below will be removed.
Please ensure that you verify your PubMed publication dates as soon as possible to make sure that you have...

NSERC has begun a series of community engagement visits to provide researchers, students and other stakeholders an opportunity to learn more about some recent program and policy developments. These visits will also serve as a platform for NSERC and the community to engage in discussions on programs and policies and seek more information from some of NSERC's grants and scholarships experts with opportunities for questions from participants. Some of the topics that will be discussed include:
• Common CV & new Research Portal
• Harmonization of the Canada Graduate Scholarships
• Five-year Evaluation of the Discovery Grants Program
• Changes to the Post Doctorate Fellowships Timelines
• Allocation of Discovery Grants Budget Among Evaluation Groups

In the fall of 2012, a research team at UPEI launched a website where the public could report their sightings of red foxes on Prince Edward Island. Today, the team behind upei.ca/redfox launches a new crowd-funding project to help fund the next stages of their research so that we can improve our understanding of one of PEI’s largest predators.
“A fox-sightings map gave us information regarding the distribution and relative abundance of foxes in Charlottetown, particularly during the fall. We have also collected anecdotal evidence regarding their behaviour, including the potential location of dens. All this information has helped us to identify the next steps of the project,” said Dr. Marina Silva-Opps, a terrestrial ecologist and associate professor of biology at UPEI. “For instance, we have used this information to identify sites for our study which will track the movement of foxes.”
The public can and are encouraged to continue reporting fox and den sightings at upei.ca/redfox. Once people have submitted their information, they’ll be encouraged to...

The 11th annual Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS)/UPEI Math Camp was recently held on campus May 3–5. The Math Camp is a national initiative that sponsors close to two dozen regional camps across Canada.
UPEI’s Math Camp is the main community outreach activity of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. This year, the camp hosted a group of sixteen students—ten girls and six boys from grades 10 and 11—from eight Island high schools and one home scholar.
The UPEI Department of Athletics and Recreation was especially proud on Saturday during the afternoon convocation when UPEI women’s hockey player Jaime Lynn Donaldson was named the first recipient of the Rory Beck Outstanding Academic and Athletic Leadership Award.
