Additional work to write applications for research funding and reviewing these added documents is a great example of the unintended consequences of initiatives that are inherently positive but might not need to be implemented across a whole sector.
I haven’t had experience using narrative CVs for funding yet, but have in the past been asked to write brief personal statements when joining panels or committees using the principles of narrative CVs. In those instances, writing about my research experience and research outputs in a narrative format is quite helpful to contextualise expertise in an area.
This is a good reflection and something that I will keep learning about to inform research and evaluations of narrative CVs.
