This session provides an overview of some of the upcoming changes to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant application requirements. The NIH originally planned for adoption of a new Common Form for Biographical Sketch and a new Biographical Sketch Supplement to occur on May 25, 2025, but it has been postponed and will instead likely be adopted later this year. The new format is now available for preview.

In particular, this presentation will focus on the new “common forms” requirements for biosketch creation with SciENcv and inclusion of an ORCID iD in NIH biosketches and eRA Commons profiles. It will also include demonstrations of the SciENcv biosketch tool and ORCID iD creation and linking steps. The presentation aims to prepare researchers for the new NIH requirements by providing detailed instructions and resources to ensure compliance. 

This program is offered by the University Libraries Health Sciences Library and led by Katherine Howell.

This session is being offered remotely via Zoom only. Registrants will receive a Zoom link.
