Using SciENcv to Create an NIH Biosketch and Other Support Documents

This guide describes how to use the NIH's SciENcv platform to create a "Common Form" biosketch and Other Support documents

Adding your Identifying Infoormation

If this is your first Other Support document (your master version), since you cannot use an external data source, you will have to enter some of your identifying information, organization and location manually.

  • Click on the ADD INFORMATION button
  • Your name will be pre-populated (but often without middle name or initial), and your ORCiD will be pre-populated if you have linked your ORCiD account to your NCBI account.
  • Add all your other information in the required fields

After you have created your first NSF C&P or NIH Other Support document, you can use it as your existing document to pre-populate all these fields. It's a good idea to check them for accuracy, though.
