SciENcv: a Federal biosketch tool NIH Regional Meeting October 2016 Neil Thakur, PhD Office of Extramural Research Bart Trawick, PhD National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine

Session Plan Review the NIH biosketch and changes Discuss SciENcv, an online tool to simplify biosketch creation for multiple agencies 2

The NIH Biosketch 3

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 4

NIH Biosketch spotter’s guide 5

NIH biosketch, Section A 6 Your qualifications for your role on the project

New NIH biosketch, Section C 7 Your general scientific contributions and achievements

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 8

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) 9

Discussion General advice – Don’t annoy the reviewers No overstuffing! Favor clarity over detail and jargon – Expectations vary Reviewers do adjust expectations for career length and field If needed, seek advice from peers and senior colleagues – Let SciENcv guide you through the format Questions about the biosketch? 10

SciENcv Overview 11

SciENcv = Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae Vision- Let investigators harvest their data from multiple systems to support funding applications, reporting and collaboration with less burden and complexity Goals – Reduce burden of applying for federal funds and maintaining federal profiles – Track impact of federal investments in science and scientist careers through scientist- curated data – Support collaboration and networking services to find reviewers, collaborators, mentors, etc. Products to date – NIH biosketches, NSF biosketch, Ed IES biosketch – Embedded XML – Integration with ORCID, Fastlane, PubMed and eRA – Bulk upload of citations from reference manager software – Internal refinements: user testing, adopting agile software principles 12
