Summary
Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is an online tool in the My NCBI platform which allows researchers to create funder specific biosketches.
To make the most use out of SciENcv, it is highly encouraged to link the SciENcv account to 3rd party resources such as ORCID, NSF, eRACommons, etc. This will:
Access SciENcv
SciENcv can be accessed either through the NCBI main page, or directly by navigating to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/ and signing in.
Users can access My NCBI using an NIH, NSF, and eRA Commons login. Signing using a 3rd part log-in will link your My NCBI to the 3rd party account.

Create an NCBI Account
- Navigate to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and in the top right corner, click "Sign in to NCBI".
- Scroll down and click "Register for an NCBI account"
- You can now access SciENcv by scrolling down on the My NCBI dashboard and finding the SciENcv "widget".
- As an alternative, you can access
Develop a Biosketch
Initial Setup
It is recommended to have a fleshed out and up-to date list of citations in either My Bibliography or in ORCID. Linking will allow information to pre-populate and provided a level of quality insurance that information is constant across multiple platforms.
My Bibliography
Users can add citations into their biosketch from the My Bibliography section in the My NCBI platform. The MY Bibliography section also feeds citations to eRA Commons.
- To add a citation, navigate to the My Bibliography Dashboard and click "Manage my Bibliography.
- Click the "Add citations" drop down and choose to add a citation from PubMed or Manually
Link External Accounts
ORCID
- To add an ORCID, edit the user profile section and click "Add your ORCID ID to this profile?".
- An ORCID window prompt will appear asking authorize this link. Verify and singing to ORCID with your NetID and password.
eRA Commons
- To link an eRA Commons account, click on you profile name in the top right bar of the NCBI page.
- Once selected, you will see account details and what accounts you have linked to. Click "Change" and search for eRA Commons.
- Select eRA commons, and you will be navigated to sign into eRA commons. Singing in will establish the link.
