XML Upload & Automation

SciENcv includes Data Ingest (XML file upload) for the Current and Pending (Other) Support (CPOS) Common Form. This capability is especially useful when a grants office wants to pre-populate a PI’s CPOS entries from:

  • A legacy “Other Support” Word/PDF
  • A campus system (e.g., internal grants database)
  • Prior SciENcv exports
  • Admin-collected intake notes

Important: XML upload is a data-entry accelerator, not a submission bypass. NIH still requires a SciENcv-generated, digitally certified PDF, and certification is done by the individual (not a delegate).
