NSERC offers a series of pre-recorded videos and live Q&A sessions which are meant to assist the research community on how to complete an application using the Research Portal and the NSERC Canadian Common CV (CCV). You will find below the pre-recorded videos as well as the dates for these upcoming live Q&A sessions. New videos and live Q&A sessions will be added as they become available. We ask that you please view the pre-recorded videos prior to attending a live Q&A session as the material presented in the video will not be repeated.
