SciENcv is a free profile service that is part of My NCBI, offered by the National Institutes
of Health.
This video focuses on special features in SciENcv that help you quickly create, share,
and maintain NSF-approved Current and Pending Support format, which can be used for proposal
submission.
Complete details about the Current and Pending Support requirements are available in the
NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide.

Let's get started back on the SciENcv home page by using the big blue button, Click here
to start.
Click the NSF login icon to sign into your account.
If you do not already have a linked NSF account, you will be taken to this page in Research.gov,
to verify your credentials.
At this point you can either create an NCBI account, or link an existing NCBI account.
Additional information on linking accounts, such as from ORCiD to NCBI, can be found in
the My NCBI Help documentation on our Bookshelf,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3842
in the section called, Sign in using a My NCBI username and password.
I'm now logged in to a mock account and I'm on the SciENcv main page.
If you have more than one document, you will see a list here.
The first time you log into SciENcv using this method you will instead see this Create
a New Document page.
Give the document a name, select the format, and select Start with a blank document.
The blue box contains metadata, and on the right, the ability to generate a PDF.
Scrolling down the page, this summary explains the project/proposal and in-kind information,
and you have buttons to begin adding your support information.
I'll click on Add Project/Proposal.
And you have several required fields, marked by a red asterisk.
These include: the status of the support, and notice the
tool tip that defines transfer of support.
A title, the funding source,
the location where the work will be performed, the total amount of the award,
and the person-months per year committed to the project, which can document up to 5 years
of support.
You have the option to supply the project or award number, as well as start and end
dates.
To complete the form, either click save, save and add another entry or cancel.
The next type of support is in-kind and requires: The status,
The source of support, The location of the project,
A summary of the in-kind contributions, The person-months per year committed to the
project, which can document up to 5 years of support,
and a dollar value assigned to the contribution.
I'll open an example, where the information is already saved in this summary section,
You can delete and edit, including adding additional documentation.
This format can be downloaded in PDF format either at the bottom of this page, or at the
top, and can be used in grant proposal submissions to NSF via FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov.
In addition, you can assign delegates to manage your profiles.
Note that you can assign delegates independently for SciENcv and for My Bibliography, which
the delegate may need for biosketch creation.
We welcome feedback on SciENcv.
