For a detailed walkthrough of setting up SciENcv for the first time, click Home above.
Once you have a SciENcv account, choose the +Create new document link, pictured here. It's in fairly small print so it may be hard to spot on your SciENcv page.
That will take you to a page where you can choose what kind of document you want to create: NSF biosketch, NIH biosketch, NIH fellowship biosketch, IES (Dept of Ed) biosketch, or Current and Pending (Other) Support for either funder.
Choose the source of any reused data that you want to import, such as reusing a previous Biosketch or CPOS page or importing education and employment information from eRA Commons, Research.gov, or ORCID. You can only choose one source for data at this stage, so choose the one that will have the most and most accurate information to serve as the basis of your new Biosketch.
Adding a delegate allows a coordinator, administrator, or research assistant to create and manage content for you.
After logging in to SciENcv, there should be a button with your username in the upper right. Click your username.
From the menu, choose Account Settings.
Scroll down to find the Delegates section. and click Add Delegate.
Enter your delegate's email address in the resulting form, then click Save.
They will receive an automated email asking whether they confirm that they should be delegates on your account.
Be sure you know the correct email to delegate to! A departmental pre-award administrator who has agreed to enter your support information should be added by a shared school / college / departmental research administration unit email instead of individual person's address when possible.
Delegates cannot certify documents. The final document certification stage must be completed by the PI / senior personnel who owns the Biosketch or CPOS document
Under the section where you are adding citations, start with the Select Citations link.
A new section appears with a tab from My Bibliography and another tab for Click here to connect to your ORCID. Click the ORCID tab
If this is your first time adding Biosketch content from ORCID, then you will need to sign in to ORCID, either with your ORCiD number and password or with an integrated VCU institutional sign in (only if you have connected your ORCID to your VCU account and given it permission).
The first time you connect your ORCID to your SciENcv/MyNCBI account, ORCID will ask you to confirm permission by stating that you Authorize Access. The access authorization will be for the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which runs PubMed and all services on the My NCBI platform, including SciENcv.
Now your ORCID information will appear in the citations list tab for ORCID. You can use checkboxes from either tab: the My Bibliography tab or the ORCID tab, and they will combine into the list of selected citations.
Your ORCID link will also appear in the name section, allowing reviewers to easily click through to your ORCID profile. Remember to keep your ORCID profile updated with the information you would want reviewers to see!
