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
The default for adding citations in a SciENcv Biosketch is to add citations that are already in PubMed. Because SciENcv and My NCBI are directly connected to PubMed, the link to add citations will lead to a PubMed search.
After you have gone into SciENcv and started a new Biosketch, to add citations from PubMed...
Click the Select Citations link to start adding citations.
That will open your My Bibliography submenu. The appearance may vary depending on whether you already have articlesi n My Bibliography and whether you have linked your ORCID yet. Click the link to Add Citations.
The resulting popup box will let you search PubMed. Enter a title of an article you have written, or your name if there are not many authors that use the same name as you do.
Check your article(s) with the checkboxes next to them. When you have checked all of the articles that you want available for your Biosketches, click the Add To My Bibliography button.
Note that any articles you check and add at this stage will become available for this and future Biosketches, but will not be added to the Biosketch yet. This stage should include adding all of your articles, not just your curated choices for the specific aims that this Biosketch will address.
All of the articles you select will be moved into the My Bibliography box in your Biosketch. Now you will have a list of all of your articles, which you have checked off from Pubmed. From this big list of your articles, you can select the number that the NIH )or other agency) allows for this Biosketch template.
Now check up to four publications that are most relevant to the Specific Aims of the NIH proposal which this Biosketch relates to (if you are using a different template, follow the instructions about how many you can check). Note that checking boxes in the previous box made them availabe on this menu, so now you will check up to four checkboxes again in this new menu.
