| NIH Biosketch Changes, effective May 25, 2025 | Starting May 25, 2025, there will be the following changes:
- Mandatory Use of SciENcv: NIH will require SciENcv for completing and certifying Common Forms (Biosketch, Current & Pending Other Support, etc.) to produce digitally certified PDFs for submissions.
- New Biographical Sketch Supplement: NIH will release a Biographical Sketch Supplement but has not published information for this supplement yet.
- ORCID Requirement: All Senior/Key Personnel must use an ORCID ID to access SciENcv and eRA Commons. For more details, visit the eRA ORCID ID FAQ page.
What you can do now to prepare: - Log in to SciENcv: Use your eRA Commons profile from the SciENcv portal page or log into MyNCBI via PubMed.
- Obtain an ORCID ID: Sign up at ORCID and create your profile. If you already have an ORCID ID, remember or recover your ORCID password, log into your account, update your profile, and check your publications. You can use your ORCID profile to populate your biosketch in SciENcv.
- Link ORCID ID & Add Delegates: In MyNCBI, go to Account Settings. Here you can Link Accounts: Connect your ORCID and other accounts & Add Delegates: Assign delegates to help manage your bibliography and SciENcv profiles.
- Add Publications: Import publications into your biosketch in SciENcv via MyBibliography (for PubMed publications) or ORCID (for non-PubMed publications). Learn about My Bibliography and how to add publications to your ORCID record.
- Start Early: Use the NSF format in SciENcv to create a biosketch now. You can import it into SciENcv as an existing document once the new NIH template is available.
Stay tuned — additional details to come! If you have any questions, contact the School of Medicine Research Development Unit. Resources: UCI Libraries page on SciENcv and ORCID | NIH’s page on the May 25, 2025 changes |

| Faculty Mentoring Academy – UCI Academic Personnel | Mentorship is a powerful tool for working with graduate students. It also enhances collaborative relationships between early-career and senior faculty. Faculty, however, often mentor in the way they were mentored. Many faculty do not have routine formal mentor training. In this workshop series, we will use a discussion and case study approach to share and improve our skills for mentoring graduate students and other trainees. We will focus on the development of applicable mentoring strategies. All faculty are welcome to attend.
The Faculty Mentoring Academy will be delivered via a series of five workshops held during the course of each academic year. Faculty who attend three of the five workshops (over a two-year period) will be eligible to receive a certificate, reflecting the designation of having attended the “Faculty Mentoring Academy.” All workshops are from 10 a.m. to noon at Donald Bren Hall 6011 Seminar Room:
- Tuesday, March 4: “Aligning Expectations” | RSVP
- Thursday, May 22: “Effective Communication” | RSVP

| Faculty Research Grants by the UCI Center for Medical Humanities | The UCI Center for Medical Humanities invites UCI faculty to apply for individual or collaborative research grants, with a maximum award of $3,000. The center supports research and initiatives that examine various aspects of human embodiment, particularly as they intersect with experiences of illness, disability and bodyminds (the center’s mission). While individual projects are not required to encompass all perspectives on a given topic, CMH-funded projects must be grounded in academic research and foster an inclusive space for diverse viewpoints. Learn more.
Eligibility: ONLY UCI Academic Senate and clinical faculty are eligible to apply for these grants. Center for Medical Humanities’ Executive Committee members are NOT eligible to apply for funding. Center for Medical Humanities’ Advisory Committee members may apply for funding.
Priority will be given to proposals from faculty in the Schools of the Arts, Humanities and Medicine as the lead schools in the interschool center. Individuals from other schools are welcome to apply, particularly if their proposed project is in collaboration with a colleague from one of the three lead schools. We encourage collaborative efforts that represent more than one academic discipline and therefore more than one perspective.
