SciENcv for Creating Your Biosketch

Some instructions on how to create a biosketch through SciENcv using a MyNCBI linked eRA account

What is Considered Current/Pending Support

From NIH's announcement regarding the use of SciENcv for Current/Pending Support submissions:

"The Common Forms represent a collaborative effort between federal research agencies to ensure standard disclosure requirements as outlined in the National Security Presidential Memorandum - 33. Recently, NIH successfully completed our sign-on to the approved Common Forms for Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support (OMB Number 3145-0279 managed by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)).

Throughout this process, NIH has collaborated with SciENcv on the development of the Common Forms in SciENcv for use by NIH applicants and recipients. In addition, SciENcv has completed development on new XML Data Upload functionality to aid applicants and recipients in completion of the Common Forms for NIH’s future implementation. Refer to How do I structure a Current & Pending (Other) Support XML File for SciENcv? for additional information."

Resources for Understanding What You Should Disclose

Uploading Current/Pending Support Forms in SciENcv

On or before September 15, 2025, users will find options to create the "NIH Current and Pending (Other) Support PREVIEW Common Form" and "NIH Biographical Sketch PREVIEW Common Form" in SciENcv.

For optimal utilization of the preview functionality, and to prepare for the adoption of the Common Forms, it is recommended that users take the following steps prior to creating a document:

  • Obtain an Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID iD).
  • Associate your ORCID iD account and eRA Commons account with SciENcv.
  • Link your ORCID iD to your eRA Commons Personal Profile prior to previewing the forms.

Uploading Current/Pending Support Forms in SciENcv

Log in to SciENcv and select the “New Document” button.  In the "Create a New Document" modal that appears,

the "Document type" drop-down menu will include these two new PREVIEW forms. Select either form and create a new document using any of the listed data source options.

NSF Specific Forms

SciENcv also supports the submission of NSF forms. If you are using an NSF form and have a question regarding its use/ submission process, please contact the Grants office at grants@siumed.edu.
