Effective May 25, 2025, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will require the use of Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) for the completion of the Biographical Sketch and the Current and Pending Support documents. The NIH encourages its investigators to prepare now by:
- Becoming familiar with Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv).
- Getting an ORCID ID. ORCID is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.
- All senior/key personnel listed on an application for a due date on or after May 25, 2025, must have an ORCID ID and the ID must be linked to their eRA Commons Personal Profile. See ORCID ID topic in the eRA Commons online help.
