NIH applicants/recipients will be required to use Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) for completing and certifying:
The Common Forms are part of an effort to standardize forms across Federal agencies. See Common Forms for Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support.
Are you preparing a Biosketch for NIH funding? If so, do you need help?
Presentations or hands-on sessions for an overview of the NIH Biosketch including two NCBI tools, SciENcv and My Bibliography, to create and certify the NIH Biosketch, Current and Pending (Other) Support, and the NIH Biographical Sketch Supplement, are available upon request for investigators and/or administrative staff. We also make "office-calls."
If you would like to schedule a presentation for your department, program or division, please contact Cathy Sarli or Amy Suiter.
The Office of Training Grants (OTG) has developed a Grants Library to serve as a centralized resource for investigators. Sample biosketches are available in the Standard Grant Language and Templates folder.
