ORCID and SciENcv: SciENcv for Biosketches

SciENcv Introduction

SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) is "a researcher profile system for all individuals who apply for, receive or are associated with research investments from federal agencies."

SciENcv is available through my NCBI. It gathers information on expertise, employment, education and professional accomplishments. Researchers can use SciENcv to create Biosketches that are submitted with NIH and NSF grant applications and progress reports. SciENcv also allows users to automatically import data from outside sources Such as NCBI's My Bibliography and ORCID to add publications into Biosketches.

The National Science Foundation requirement to use NSF-approved formats for biographical sketch and current and pending support goes into effect for all proposals submitted on or after October 23, 2023.
