SciENcv [1], the US Federal Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae, is an online system for simplifying the creation of researcher biographical sketches or biosketches, which are required when applying for federal funding. SciENcv profiles are curated and controlled by researchers themselves they own the data, they control what data are public, and they edit and maintain the information contained within the profiles, which includes expertise, employment history, educational background, and professional accomplishments. The system leverages data from myNCBI and eRA Commons, and includes links to ORCiD [2] researcher identifiers. The structure of SciENcv biosketches is defined by an XML Schema Definition and profiles can be downloaded in XML format. The system aims to eliminate the need for researchers to repeatedly enter biosketch information and reduce the administrative burden associated with federal grant submission and reporting requirements, as well as creating a repository of researcher profile data where researchers can describe their scientific contributions in their own language.
