Certify + download CPOS (individual-only)

Same pattern as the biosketch:

1. Download PDF
2. The individual named on the CPOS certifies (delegate cannot)
3. Submit SciENcv-generated PDF without modification

Don’t print/flatten the PDF after download—submit the certified file as generated.

You may rename the downloaded PDF file to match NIH filename guidance, but do not alter the PDF content. If the document changes, or if the certification/signature date is more than 12 months old at submission time, download and re-certify.

If NIH requires supporting documentation for foreign appointments/employment reported in CPOS, attach those contract copies separately in the relevant eRA JIT, RPPR, or Prior Approval module. Do not append them to the SciENcv CPOS PDF.
