In recent years, there has been a move by research funding organizations, supported by the responsible research movement , towards the use of narrative academic CV formats, intended to add more emphasis to
80-453: A CV outside academia. CVs are often tailored to change the emphasis of the information according to the particular position for which the job seeker is applying.

320-770: The Netherlands. The 2005-2007 preparations for this program coined the phrase “Responsible Innovation” and designed a program with several calls for proposals. The core idea of Responsible Research and Innovation in the EU Horizon 2020 Program was inspired by this program. In 2014, it was suggested that the "broader impacts" criteria of the National Science Foundation were, despite certain dissimilarities, in effect coming to resemble RRI standards.

400-661: The societal relevance of a scientist's research, teaching, and outreach work. In October 2024, the Government of Canada's main research granting councils -- NSERC , SSHRC , and CIHR -- announced "... a new CV template that would allow applicants to include a free-form narrative personal statement, aligning with trends seen in other funding agencies like the US National Institutes of Health and UK Research and Innovation."
