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. For the Other support document, the only current available option is NSF Current and Pending (Other) Support.
-
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 late March.
-
Until then, use the NSF Current and Pending Other Support (referred to as C&P) document type. The NIH has indicated it will most likely adopt this document as-is for the NIH Other Support document.
-
Using the NSF form will allow you to get a head start on populating your funding in SciENcv before the new forms are added. After they are added, use this NSF version to populate a new NIH master Other Support document and work from that one for all subsequent proposals.
-
- Choose Data source:
- For the NSF C&P, 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 documents, if you have any
- Start with a blank document
- Click Create (or Cancel if you wish)
