CID and User ID numbers serve two different purposes. Your User ID number is a confidential identifier that is used only for logging on to the SSHRC online system. This number is assigned to you when you register online. Your CID uniquely identifies you in SSHRC’s corporate database. It is a reference number used by SSHRC to quickly refer to your file. You should refer to it whenever you contact SSHRC by telephone or in writing. If you don’t yet have a CID, leave that space blank in the form and SSHRC will assign a number to you when it receives your application.
