Revised NSF Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support Formats – Mandatory use of SciENcv

Dear Colleagues,

Earlier this year, we sent the notice below to you that advised that NSF would mandate the use of SciENcv for the preparation of the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support for proposals submitted on or after October 23, 2023. The NSF fillable formats will no longer be accepted.

I am writing to assess our campus’ readiness for this transition. Please forward an e-mail to me with a copy to Paul Lekutai at plekutai@uci.edu to let us know whether your school/department/research unit is prepared for this transition, and if not, what assistance is needed in order to transition to SciENcv for the preparation of these documents.

Thank you,

Nancy

Dear Colleagues:

NSF implemented revised versions of the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support formats for consistency with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 23-1). The requirement to use the revised formats is effective for proposals submitted or due on or after January 30, 2023.

These revised formats are now available in SciENcv and on the NSF Policy Office website. As a reminder, the mandate to use SciENcv only for preparation of these senior personnel documents will go into effect for new proposals submitted or due on or after October 23, 2023.

Staff from NSF and NIH will conduct a webinar to discuss the revised formats and demonstrate the SciENcv system on Thursday, January 19th at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Webinar registration is available now.

Jean Feldman
