Welcome back to our biweekly series of bite-sized research administration trainings brought to you by the Department of Contracts and Grants.

Why It Matters: Federal sponsors now require the use of SciENcv to prepare Biosketch and Other Support documents, with NIH’s requirement taking effect January 25, 2026. SciENcv standardizes how researchers disclose qualifications, funding, effort, and research support, reducing formatting errors, inconsistent disclosures, and last-minute proposal issues. Understanding SciENcv early helps investigators and departments stay compliant, improves transparency around research commitments, and supports smoother proposal review and submission.
