The New NIH Biosketch
Why? Allows applicants to: describe the magnitude and significance of their scientific contributions (including publications) provide more detailed information about their research experience in the context of the proposed project 3
When? NIH Biosketch: optional format for due dates before 5/25/15 New NIH Biosketch: mandatory format for due dates 5/25/15 and beyond 4

SciENcv and NSF
NSF SciENcv Pilot - Volunteers Needed Researchers will create new NSF biosketches and provide feedback (survey, free-form) – Overall Easy of Use – Tool Efficacy – Likelihood of Continued Use – Formatting Considerations Information and Tutorials are being developed now and will be sent out to the Volunteers Questions and Immediate Feedback can be sent directly to Tool expected to be released for pilot by January 16th
NSF SciENcv Pilot – Smoke Test Only Important Note: It is not recommended that users submit biosketches from the tool at this time – This pilot is designed purely to gauge user feedback and assess the functionality – Updates are still being made to the tool so that it will generate NSF-specific biosketches – Users and submitting organizations will still be required to ensure their submittals are in compliance with NSF Policy
