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**](https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/OSPTrainingNeedsAssessment/IQC_jCz17rn8SYxbX73CzceiAQngixyrhXbPm0HYifirxTQ)**,** 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**](https://sites.harvard.edu/research-administration-training/refreshers/) of the **OSP Research Administration Resources** website.

**Looking for additional help?** The [**NIH SciENcv Instructions & FAQs**](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/help/) offer in-depth guidance and support.

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