SciENcv - Create Your NIH or NSF Biosketch: Creating SciENcv Biosketches

Through manually entering your information into a SciENcv template

Enter a name for your new profile (see A above). Select a biosketch format (B). Select “Start with a blank document” (C). Choose to make your profile public or private (D) and click Create. You may change the sharing status for this profile at any time.

To start the process, enter your information in the personal information window. If you have publications stored in "My Bibliography", those will be automatically uploaded to your SciENcv biosketch.

Under optional information, the link next to eRA COMMONS ID allows eRA users to link their SciENcv account to their eRA account. Once the accounts are linked, you will be able to populate SciENcv biosketches with your eRA information. Click Add your ORCID iD to this profile? to link to ORCID and add your ORCID iD to your SciENcv biosketch. At this point, your ORCID account will be linked to your NCBI account, and consequently, you will be able to use the biographical data in your ORCID record to populate SciENcv profiles (Integrating with ORCID video).

National Science Foundation biographical sketches provide the option to add personal information, NSF ID, and ORCID iD.
