Creating Your Biosketch in SciENcv

There are three ways to create a professional profile in SciENcv which are listed in the tabs above.

The easiest way will be through an automated data feed from an external source as it will allow you to directly export your information from eRA (or ORCID if you have it) into the SciENcv template. Follow the steps below for this method.

Within SciENcv, click "+ New Document." You will get the pop up below.
From here, you will:
1. Add a name to the document
2. Choose the type of document you're creating (NIH Biosketch, NIH Fellowship Biosketch, NSF Biographical Sketch, NSF Current and Pending (Other) Support, IES Biosketch)
3. Choose "Use an External Source" to import from your previously linked eRA account or ORCID ID if you have it linked.

Click "Create" and follow any further instruction as prompted. Visit NCBI's section on automated data feed from an external source for more guidance.
If you have specific questions on what needs to be included for your grant submission contact the Grants Office at grants@siumed.edu

If you already have a profile in SciENcv that you want to reuse, you may base a new profile on it by making a duplicate. Follow the steps below for this method.

Within SciENcv, click "+ New Document." You will get the pop up below.
1. Give the Document a name
2. Choose the type of document you need to create (NIH Biosketch, NIH Fellowship Biosketch, NSF Biographical Sketch, NSF Current and Pending (Other) Support, IES Biosketch)
3. Select "Use an Existing Document" and select from the drop down which document you wish to duplicate

Click "Create" and follow any further instruction as prompted. Visit NCBI's section on making a duplicate of an existing document for more guidance.

Within SciENcv, click "+ New Document." You will get the pop up below.
1. Give the Document a name
2. Choose the type of document you need to create (NIH Biosketch, NIH Fellowship Biosketch, NSF Biographical Sketch, NSF Current and Pending (Other) Support, IES Biosketch)
3. Select "Start with a blank document"
