Dear Clarkson Community:
Some of you may have heard directly from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that effective Jun 1, 2020 only NSF-approved formats may be used for the biographical sketch (biosketch) and the current & pending (C&P) documents uploaded for proposals. There are two formats currently approved to create biosketches and C&P documents: (1) SciENcv: Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae and (2) an NSF Fillable PDF document.
To most effectively support the transition to this new requirement Sponsored Research Services is developing “How To” guidance. Once finalized, this guidance will be posted to the SRS Proposal Preparation & Submission intranet site and the Clarkson community notified of its availability.
If your plans include submitting an application to NSF on or after June 1, what can you do to prepare?
- Alert Todd Travis (ttravis@clarkson.edu) and Trish Lowney (plowney@clarkson.edu) of your plans
- Check out NSF’s recently recorded webinar about this requirement and related information https://www.nsfpolicyoutreach.com/resources/april-2020-nsf-approved-formats-for-proposals/
- Consider registering for a unique ORCID identifier (https://orcid.org/); records associated with your ORCID ID can be linked to SciENcv and help populate the forms.
- For additional information, see the NSF pages for the biographical sketch (https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/biosketch.jsp) and current and pending support. (https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/cps.jsp)
We look forward to helping you!
