SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) is a tool to help researchers create profiles in the new NIH biographical sketch format. This new format must be used for all NIH grant and cooperative agreement applications submitted for due dates on or after May 25, 2015.
SciENcv is a component of PubMed's My NCBI account. It complements My Bibliography, which helps you manage the publications you've authored.
To use SciENcv, sign on to My NCBI with your eRA Commons account or link your NIH eRA Commons account to your PubMed My NCBI account. This will help integrate the publications listed in My Bibliography and grant information from eRA Commons into your SciENcv profile. If you have an ORCID ID you can add it to your SciENcv account; in the future this will allow you to import information and references from your ORCID profile.
Once you have created a SciENcv profile, it is easy to generate a properly formatted biosketch for an NIH grant application.
Follow these steps to set up your profile.
The NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS) has been refreshed. The NIHMS system supports the deposit of manuscripts into PubMed Central (PMC), as required by the NIH Public Access Policy and other participating funders.
The NIHMS system was designed to facilitate the submission of peer-reviewed manuscripts for inclusion in PMC. The NIHMS system allows users, such as authors, principal investigators and publishers, to deposit final, peer-reviewed manuscripts in PMC. Depositing a manuscript is a multi-step process, requiring an author to approve the deposited files and associated funding before conversion and the PMC-ready version after conversion.
Please see the Library’s NIH Public Access guide or contact a Reference Librarian for more information.
If you are using Google Scholar on campus, it will recognize that and automatically provide the “library links.”
If you are working off campus, set up your Google Scholar preferences page by typing in Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Library Links box and click on the “Find Library” button. You can select up to 5 libraries.
Use this Google Scholar link when searching from off campus or when exporting to RefWorks.

Many health care providers and patients are familiar with MedlinePlus.gov, the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) consumer health website. What they may not know is that the NLM also provides health-related articles in 44 other languages; from Amharic and Arabic, to Urdu and Vietnamese. Spanish has its own MedlinePlus site, MedlinePlus en español.
Users can navigate the collection of health information in multiple languages either by language or by topic. A page listing all of the languages covered is linked from the Multiple Languages link on the bottom right corner of the MedlinePlus homepage. Users can browse these languages and click through to the page listing all of the topics covered for a given language. Additionally, a languages box is displayed on the right side of the English language Health Topic pages. The languages box lists the languages with links on that topic in MedlinePlus. This box also links users to the collection of health information in multiple languages.
The Library is preparing an exhibit recognizing Einstein faculty who have authored, edited or contributed to books or e-books published during the past year. The exhibit will be on display in the Library lobby on the first floor of the Forchheimer Building during the month of March. This year's exhibit will include books published between March 2014 and March 2015.
Authors should send a copy of their printed book or information about their e-book and a recent photograph of themselves, either printed or electronic. Books and photos will be returned when the exhibit is over. Please include your name, title, department and phone number with the submission.
Send the information and materials by February 13 to:
