Research Compliance News and Resources

Coming in May 2025 investigators must use SciENcv to format NIH and NSF key personnel documents.

SciENcv(Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) is an application in My NCBI that helps you create and manage documents in support of grant applications with participating agencies. Visit our SciENcv webpage for vital information and resources you need to be prepared.
