Follow these steps to set up your SciENcv profile.  You will gather your publications from PubMed and then link your eRA Commons account with your My NCBI account.  This will let you use SciENcv to create an NIH biosketch.

1. Go to My NCBI in PubMed.
2. Log to My NCBI by clicking on "NIH Login" and entering your eRA Commons ID and password.
3. Click on "My NCBI" in the upper right corner.
4. Locate the SciENcv box.
5. Select "link your eRA account for an expedited setup."  This will make it possible to add PubMed references from My Bibliography into your biosketch.
6. If you have an ORCID ID, add it to your SciENcv account

There are 3 ways to create a SciENcv profile:

• From scratch
• From an existing source (eRA Commons, ORCID, NSF)
• From an existing profile
  • Hint: Create a basic profile containing all of your background information. User this profile to create specialized biosketches.

Biosketches created with SciENcv can be downloaded in PDF, Word, and XML formats.  The PDF version can be used when filing grant applications through grants.gov.

Researchers can import references from PubMed n to My Bibliography. Citation information in My Bibliography for records that do not appear in PubMed (including conference presentations, patents, etc) can be added manually.
