Overview: what you’re producing

For NIH, the SciENcv output is effectively:

  1. Biographical Sketch Common Form (structured data: identifying information, professional preparation, appointments/positions, and products)
  2. NIH Biographical Sketch Supplement (narratives: personal statement, contributions to science, and honors)

SciENcv prepares both parts in one interface. NIH expects one certification and one combined PDF for submission.

There is no page limit for the combined NIH biosketch PDF.

No citations are allowed inside the Personal Statement or Contributions text boxes.
All references must be selected under Products (10 total).
