Bart Trawick, PhDNational Center for Biotechnology InformationNational Library of Medicine

SciENcv Overview

• SciENcv = Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae

• SciENcv interagency working group: DOD, DOE, EPA, NIH, NSF, USDA, Smithsonian

• Create Biosketch for grant applications

The FDP Pilot

• Generate biosketch in NIH-specific format for application submission

• Populate with data from existing sources– Researcher shows/hides items in the profile– Populate application form– Populate NIH progress report format

SciENcv Alpha

• Testing in late July-August

• Small group (all faculty) responded with feedback

• Summary of feedback

SciENcv Alpha Feedback

• Please add other formats (Word, etc)• It would be nice to select from multiple personal statements

• No place (yet) to include other scholarly products of research as in NSF biosketches.

• Add error page for private biosketches

• This was easy to use - loved having the citations and funding auto-populated. The final formatted PDF looked great - I will use it!

SciENcv Beta Feedback

• My major feedback is that there seems to be insufficient flexibility in formatting the CV that is generated.

• The ability to pick the position listed at the top. I have a couple of concurrent positions (Professor and Editor). It picks the one with the most recent date.

• Listing every (noncompeting) year of a grant award as a separate item needs to be fixed.

• This will be a powerful tool for preparing and evaluating grant proposals.

Design & Develop Enhancements Required by NIH

– Add ability to maintain multiple NIH biosketches

– Output SciENcv data to eRA Commons and RPPR

– Pull profile information from ORCID and work with additional external profile systems (e.g., VIVO)

– Publish API to allow users to transfer data to/from EndNote, Linked In, and other systems

– Allow delegates to create/maintain SciENcv profiles

– Add additional output options such as plain text, MS Word

– Develop interoperability with RePORT

26

Design & Develop Enhancements Required by NSF

– Add ability to create NSF biosketches

– Interface with NSF systems for pre-population of SciENcv

– Add NSF award database/data feed for support section

– Allow delegates to create/maintain SciENcv profiles

– Add additional output options such as plain text, MS Word

– Allow researchers to add their NSF ID to their SciENcv and support authentication with NSF so their awards can be associated with their SciENcv account.

– Allow ingest of publications and other research products from ORCID or another external data source
