The New NIH Biosketch 2
Why? Allows applicants to: describe the magnitude and significance of their scientific contributions (including publications) provide more detailed information about their research experience in the context of the proposed project 3

New NIH biosketch, Section A 5
New NIH biosketch, Section C 6
Biosketch tweaks– Version C to Version D Key Policy tweaks – Minimize overstuffing- no graphics – Citation Enhancements Allowing non-peer reviewed publications to be included to correspond with the allowance of other non-peer reviewed research products (from ‘reference up to four peer-reviewed publications or other non-publication research products’ to ‘cite up to four publications or research products’) – If applicant provides a URL to their publications, it must be on a federal (.gov) website Key clarifications – Integrating instructions for institutional research training, institutional career development, or research education grant applications with main biosketch – Clarifications to ensure junior applicants can better describe their productivity 7
Biosketch tweaks– Version C to Version D Minor Policy/instruction tweaks – Requesting people add other names used to author research products in section A – Citation Enhancements Adding research products as allowable citations to section A to correspond with their allowance in Section C – Deleting the requirement that the past 3 years of research support are listed in order of relevance. Minor Clarifications – Extensive changes for clarity- Using shorter sentences, bullets and shorter paragraphs – Clarifying that the URL for a publication list is optional (as always intended, and conveyed in the FAQ) 8

NSF SciENcv Pilot – Smoke Test Only Important Note: It is not recommended that users submit biosketches from the tool at this time – This pilot is designed purely to gauge user feedback and assess the functionality – Updates are still being made to the tool so that it will generate NSF-specific biosketches – Users and submitting organizations will still be required to ensure their submittals are in compliance with NSF Policy 36
