The Resume for Researchers (R4RI), also called the Royal Society narrative CV, structures researcher self-description around four modules: how the individual has contributed to (1) the generation of knowledge, (2) the development of individuals, (3) the wider research community, and (4) broader society. Each module is a short free-text narrative supplied by the researcher. The template was developed in collaboration with funders, learned societies and the Royal Society of Edinburgh as a practical alternative to publication-list-driven CVs. R4RI has been adopted, adapted and extended by funders including UKRI and NIHR.
