Event Date
In the past year, NIH, USDA, DOE, and NASA have joined NSF in requiring SciENcv to create biographical sketches and current and pending support documents. In order to generate compliant personnel documents for these agencies, investigators must create and connect an ORCiD profile (and eRA Commons for NIH and some USDA programs) to their SciENcv profile. Connecting these systems and navigating the new biographical documents can present challenges, so members of the PDS team will be available during the times listed below to answer questions and help trouble-shoot issues with preparing the new SciENcv documents. UC Davis affiliates do not need to register and are welcome to drop in at any point during the times listed below get your questions answered.
