The new NIH biosketch format will be required for grant applications submitted on or after May 25, 2015 – see our recent blog post for more information. To help with the transition, check out the Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv), an online tool that helps researchers gather and compile personal information, such as expertise, employment, education and professional accomplishments, for re-use in grant submissions. Profiles can be created by entering data manually, copying an existing profile, or using an automated feed from an external source such as eRA Commons, National Science Foundation and ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID).
