CV/Bio Sketch

Overview 

A Biographical sketch/CV is a detailed document highlighting the professional and academic history of the PI or other key personnel. The CV typically includes information such as work experience, honors and awards, scholarships and funding the subject has been awarded, and publications of work. Each Sponsor has their own set of instructions and requirements that must be followed when submitting the CV as part of the proposal.  Many non-federal sponsors direct PIs to use NIH format when submitting bio sketches.
