On your SciENcv Page (NCBI > SCIENCV)
To start a new Other Support document
- Under My Documents click the button + NEW DOCUMENT
-
Document title: Give the document a unique name. If this is your first Other Support document, consider naming it your master. Following recommended naming tips is the same for the Other Support document as it is for your biosketch.
-
Format (Document type): Click on the menu drop-down arrow.
-
As we already mentioned in the section on starting a new biosketch, the NIH expects to have the new NIH Other Support document available in SciENcv sometime in November 2025.
-
Until then, use the NIH Current and Pending (Other) Support PREVIEW Common Form or the NSF Current and Pending Other Support (referred to as C&P) document type.
-
Using the PREVIEW or the NSF form will allow you to get a head start on populating your funding in SciENcv before the new NIH forms are added. After they are added, use your PREVIEW or NSF version to populate a new NIH master Current and Pending (Other) Support document and work from that one for all subsequent proposals.
-
- Choose Data source:
- For the CPOS, there is no option for external data source import. This is because funding information is highly structured and can be specific to your institution's Sponsored Research grants management system -- SciENcv cannot import data from institutional internal data sources.
- Existing document: You can only choose from your current SciENcv C&P / CPOS documents, if you have any
- Upload an XML file - this is an option only for CPOS or C&P forms
- See the NIH's instructions on structuring data for XML upload to a CPOS document.
- Start with a blank document
- Click Create (or Cancel if you wish)
