Grants and Sponsored Programs: SciENcv for NSF

SciENcv Background

Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is a new electronic system that helps researchers assemble the professional information needed for participation in federally funded research. SciENcv gathers and compiles information on expertise, employment, education and professional accomplishments. Researchers can use SciENcv to create and maintain biosketches that are submitted with grant applications and annual reports. SciENcv allows researchers to describe and highlight their scientific contributions in their own words.

What SciENcv does:

• Eliminates the need to repeatedly enter biosketch information
• Reduces the administrative burden associated with federal grant submission and reporting requirements
• Provides access to a researcher-claimed data repository with information on expertise, employment, education, and professional accomplishments
• Allow researchers to describe their scientific contributions in their own language

Principles of SciENcv

• Any researcher may register
• Leverages data from existing systems
• Data are owned by the researcher
• Researcher controls what data are public
• Researcher edits and maintains information
• Researcher provides own data to describe research outcomes
• Researcher has ultimate control over data in biosketch
