New SciENcv Refresher Available to Support NIH Requirements

Dear Research Administrators,

To assist investigators in preparing for the NIH requirement to use SciENcv for Biographical Sketches and Current and Pending (Other) Support documents, effective January 25, 2026, a new refresher resource is now available.

📄 This single document, Biosketch Prep: Using ORCID iD and SciENcv, includes four infographics designed to help users get started with SciENcv and required accounts:

  • Steps to Create an NCBI Account
  • Steps to Create an ORCID iD
  • Adding Your ORCID iD to a Biosketch
  • Key Actions for Using SciENcv

You can find this new resource on the Refreshers page of the OSP Research Administration Resources website.

Looking for additional help? The NIH SciENcv Instructions & FAQs offer in-depth guidance and support.

We encourage you to explore and share these tools with your teams ahead of the upcoming compliance date.
