Have you heard about SciENcv?

SciENcv or the Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae recently went live.  It is an online professional profile that can be made public to share with others. In SciENcv, users can document their education, employment, research activities, publications, honors, research grants, and other professional contributions. In addition, the SciENcv profile may include an ORCID® iD, when registered with ORCID.

The mission of SciENcv is to create a researcher profile system for all individuals who apply for, receive, or are associated with research investments from federal agencies, in order to:

  • Eliminate the need to repeatedly enter biosketch information and therefore reduce the administrative burden associated with federal grant submission and reporting requirements
  • Provide 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

eRA Commons account holders who have linked their eRA account to My NCBI will find their SciENcv profile automatically populated with the information stored in their eRA Commons profile. The information transferred from eRA Commons to SciENcv profiles can be changed, hidden, augmented, or deleted.

More information and help is available from the National Library of Medicine.
