Assistance with updating your ORCID and SciENcv Profiles

SciENcv is recommended to be used for all federally funded proposed research. Assistance is available to guide faculty through establishing ORCID and SciENcv profiles, creating biosketches, and linking sponsor systems and publication repositories to SciENcv and ORCID. Click the link below to schedule an hour one-on-one to learn about the systems and tools available. Please bring your laptop.

What is ORCID?

ORCID provides a persistent unique digital identifier. ORCID contains affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more, ensuring appropriate recognition for all contributions and reducing risk of professional identification errors. ORCID can be linked to SciENcv for ease of creating and updating biosketches for proposal applications.

What is SciENcv?

SciENcv is a researcher profile system for individuals who apply for, receive or are associated with funding from federal agencies.
