Both NIH and NSF require a biographical sketch (AKA biosketch) using SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae). SciENcv is a feature in My NCBI. That means not all engineering related publications can be found in NCBI's PubMed.

After May 25, 2025, NIH will require all Senior/Key Personnel to enter their ORCID ID into SciENcv in the Persistent Identifier (PID) section of the Common Forms.

If you have ORCiD and publications in ORCiD are up to date, you can connect your ORCiD to SciENcv and then populate bibliographies from ORCiD in SciENcv. Please watch the how-to video tutorials below.

After May 25, 2025, NIH will require all Senior/Key Personnel to link their ORCID ID to their eRA Commons Personal Profile. For information on linking an ORCID ID to the eRA Commons Personal Profile see the ORCID ID topic in the eRA Commons online help.

If publications in your ORCiD are not up to date, you can use Iowa Research Online (AKA Esploro) Researcher Profile curated by University of Iowa Libraries. You can export publication records from Researcher Profile, and then import them to My Bibliography in My NCBI. Please watch the how-to video tutorial below.

On the ORCiD@UI page of this guide, click on the green Create or Connect button in the upper left-hand corner

You will be asked to sign in with your Hawk ID and Password (not Healthcare ID), after which you will be presented with a screen that will say if you already have an ORCiD connected to the University, whether you have an ORCiD but still need to connect it to the university, or need to create and connect your ORCiD. 

Follow the instructions, and then click on the URL to your ORCiD account:

You will then be presented with a login screen. If you are fully connected to the university, you should be able to use the "Institutional Account" to login with your Hawk ID and password. This is a good test to make sure you are fully connected to the university.
