• Hot topics• This year's meeting theme• Federal issue deep dive

– SciENcv (and ORCID)• Looking ahead

Hot Topics

Hot Topics: NIH• NIH Proposals Font:

– Do NOT use Times New Roman 11– Font is non-compliant with formatting rules, and

Northwestern applications using it have been rejected – If PI loves Times New Roman, be sure to use size 12.

• Revised NIH Grants Policy Statement for FY 2020– https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/Significant-

Changes-Table-NIHGPS-2019.pdf (summary of significant changes)

• NIH Has Updated Human Subject Research Decision Tool– https://grants.nih.gov/policy/humansubjects/hs-

decision.htm

Hot Topics: NIH - upcoming• NIH career (K) and fellowship (F) applications

require ORCID IDs starting with January 25, 2020 submissions– https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-

files/NOT-OD-19-109.html– https://libguides.northwestern.edu/orcid

• New Executive Level II salary $197,300 - NIH Guide notice forthcoming

• Forms F will be coming in May, more details to follow

Hot Topics: NSF• NSF's PAPPG (Proposal & Award Policies &

Procedures Guide) will be effective 90 days after published– Publication date still TBD– CURRENT AND PENDING in addition to bio sketches

will need to be done in SciENcv• Research.gov (aka Fastlane's eventual

replacement)– Will support collaborative proposals in Spring 2020– Fastlane will be retired (date TBD), so it’s never too

early to start using Research.gov!– Provide feedback to NSF

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In room discussion: On the Evanston campus, a few individuals who have PI’s who are NSF-funded noted that they like using the research.gov interface better than Fastlane.

Hot Topics: UEI Number• Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number

– Phasing in throughout 2020– 12-digit alphanumeric (instead of 9-digit

DUNS)– Northwestern will receive one for Chicago

campus and one for Evanston campus– Update from General Services Administration

(GSA) here

Shaping a Healthy, Aligned Research Administration

Ecosystem (SHARE)

Research EcosystemThe interconnectedness of all things in the complex university research administration environment.

are bound together. All things connect."Scull, J. (2000). Chief Seattle, er Professor Perry speaks. Gatherings: Seeking Ecopsychology, 2,Retrieved fromhttp://www.ecopsychology.org/journal/gath-

Presentation Notes
There will be more interactive features coming, specifically slide decks that capture in room conversation and a searchable presentation archive. -- Q: Can we make meetings live (e.g. web conference) for those who can’t make the meetings in person? A: It’s something we can explore.

Federal Issue Deep Dive:SciENcv

SciENcv• National Science Foundation (NSF) has designated

the National Institutes of Health’s SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) as an NSF-approved format for submission of biographical sketch(es)

• Encouraging SciENcv use to prepare a biographical sketch for inclusion in proposals to NSF beginning with the next iteration of the PAPPG (effective date TBD)

• NSF will only accept PDFs for biographical sketches that are generated through use of an NSF-approved format.

NSF SciENcv Info and Links to Training

12

Current and Pending, too!

Current and Pending, too!

• The release of the NSF PAPPG typically occurs in October, with a January effective date BUT still no ETA for the 2020 guide

• NSF is working with SciENcv to add support for generating Current and Pending Support in an approved format in addition to Bio Sketches (as previously announced)

13

Be prepared!

• If your PI submits proposals to NSF – get ready now!!

• The 2020 NSF PAPPG will be effective 90 days after it is published – so could be as early as May 1

• Practice now with the Bio Sketch format• As soon as the Current & Pending support

format is available – pounce!

ORCID to SciENcv:NSF-Recommended Flow

ORCIDProfile

MyNCBI->SciENcv

Import ORCID info

into SciENcv

15

Step 1 – ORCID Profile

16

ORCID Profile

17

Add works Add funding

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In room discussion: Q: Should administrators have ORCIDs? A: It is not required, but it is recommended so that you can login and get familiar with the functionality. There is a version of delegate access in ORCID, but more of the burden falls on the PIs themselves.

18

• In the drop-down for other login options, choose 'Northwestern University' from the list (to use our InCommon federated login, which uses your NetID/password)

• Either create a new account or link to existing one

Step 2 – MyNCBI Login

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Current/pending support is not yet in SciENcv (but is coming) Not required by NIH, but SciENcv makes NSF AND NIH biosketches! Important to link ORCID BEFORE you create a biosketch because the system will pull in a lot of info from ORCID into SciENcv

Step 3 – Create a Biosketch

20

Tip: Link your ORCID ID to your SciENcv profile first!

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Q: Can’t we just create a biosketch that looks like the SciENcv format? A: NO, you must use ORCID, export the PDF, and upload to research.gov. The PDF generated by SciENcv contains structured data in the background that NSF will consume. -- Q: Can the same biosketch be used for multiple proposals (for example, if a PI wishes to use the exact same biosketch for two different proposals)? A: YES, you can reuse a biosketch for multiple proposals. A given biosketch is not specifically bound to a proposal (only to be used for that proposal). You can also use an existing biosketch as the start of another. For example, if the investigator would like a similar but slightly different version for another purpose. -- Q: Are there RA and/or faculty-focused training resources? A: There are some resources on the ORCID site and NU Library site. See the Resources slide at the end of this presentation.
