PREPARING YOUR CV IN MCMASTER FORMAT
•Welcome This presentation is intended to help you understand what information belongs on a McMaster CV and where the information should be placed
•Overview • McMaster
University has a specific set of guidelines for CVs. These guidelines, found in SPS B-11, are outlined below. • Faculty members must submit their CV in McMaster format for all academic reviews and for any administrative appointments. • Preparation of the CV in McMaster format can be simplified using the MacFACTs system (formerly STAR-CV)
•Name Guidelines state: The name that you commonly use should be underlined. However, FHS does not enforce this requirement. MacFACTS will pick up your name from the database ** Changes coming to allow for prior name, common name, etc to appear.**
•Addresses • This
is usually your university office address and should include your phone, fax and email • This is a manual entry into MacFACTS, you can choose which address you would like to appear, although this is normally your business/mailing address • Do not use your home address!
•Personal Information Please do not include your: birth date, citizenship status, home address, etc. It is not considered relevant to an academic CV. • Note •

information may appear in MacFACTS but will not output into the CV. • Please check this information and use the email buttons to request changes
•Educational Background ** Degrees and certifications only NOTE – if this information was included on your CV at time of hire, it will appear in MacFacts automatically. For any degrees earned after hiring, you will need to request that these be added. •
For each degree/certificate include: • designation

titles which may or may not have funding attached belong in this section •

•Courses Taught • The
guidelines currently state “last five years”, however, you should include as much information as is relevant (MacFacts includes all teaching since ~1999) •
Note that this refers to McMaster teaching. Teaching done prior to appointment at McMaster is not required on the CV unless relevant to the review

•Lifetime Research Funding •
Recent change from “Last 5 years” to “Lifetime” •
Note – long term faculty members are not required to add back all funding for their entire career. Newer faculty will be expected to keep a “lifetime” record in the CV.
Although this section is entitled “Lifetime Research Funding”, often in FHS our faculty members are involved in research projects with no funding attached. To recognize this, we ask that faculty members enter these in MacFacts as funded with a value of $0. • Those marked as “Unfunded” do not appear on the CV as these are projects which have been denied funding!!! •
•Lifetime Research Funding Anything that was applied for through a formal peer review process, has a defined purpose, and has a funding amount attached is listed in this section. • Other items that would be listed include: “nonpeer reviewed grants” and “local investigator of a clinical trial” These projects may not have funding - but they have defined research objectives and so belong in this section. •
•Lifetime Research Funding •
Each entry must include the following information: Type (i.e. Peer reviewed) • Title • Purpose • Names of investigators, noting PI, Co-PI, Co-I etc; •
• if
not noted above, it is helpful to include your role on the grant

you are working on a subsection of a large project – include your portion of the funding
