A biographical sketch (also referred to as Biosketch) documents an individual's qualifications and experience for a specific role in a project. Make sure to check out the SciENcv guide (top left navigation bar) to create Biosketches using the NIH's free tool! This can save time and effort because it will create a Biosketch using the most up-to-date formatting! The user can adjust it for different grants and save many variations of a Biosketch quickly and efficiently!
NIH eRA Commons, NSF, and ORCID account holders who have linked their accounts to NCBI can populate their SciENcv biosketches with the information stored in their eRA, NFS, or ORCID accounts.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) biographical sketch is an NSF approved format used for proposal submissions to the NSF.
