Have You Created Your NIH Biosketch Using SciENcv?

Posted on by

SciENcv is an optional tool designed to facilitate the creation of biosketches for NIH and NSF grant applications and annual progress reports.  MSK Librarians understand how busy you are so “How-to-Instructions” (.pdf version available as well!) have been developed for researchers who decide to use this tool.

Check out the “MyNCBI: SciENcv” tab located on the MSK NIH Public Access LibGuide.  This page was organized to include the following sections with training and support materials embedded in each section:

  • What is SciENcv?
  • Steps to Setup My Bibliography
  • Steps to Setup SciENcv
  • Steps to Setup SciENcv (via Delegate)
  • Additional Related Training and Support Materials

This page was updated recently to include the July 2015 webinar entitled “Creating Your NIH Biosketch with SciENcv” (31.56 min) and instructions for users to help them convert biosketches from the former NIH biographical sketch to the new format.

New Library Security Gate System at the Samuel J. Wood Library, Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)

Posted on by

Attention: MSK Library Users

Effective Tuesday, September 22, MSK staff who visits the Samuel J. Wood Library will need to have a special library-issued access card to enter and exit the library’s new gates during regular operating hours.

In order for MSK staff to obtain this access card from WCMC, they need to be registered or be an active user in their home-library system.  If you are not sure of your MSK Library status, don’t hesitate to ASK US!

In addition, WCMC have extended their hours of operation.

MSK staff should continue to go to their home library for research or literature requests, document delivery, or other services.

Thank you for your cooperation.
