Preview of NIH Common Forms for Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support Available in SciENcv

On September 4, 2025, NIH issued notice NOT-OD-25-152, regarding the agency's plans to release preview versions of NIH's Common Forms for Biographical Sketches (Biosketches) and Current and Pending (Other) Support in the Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) system. Access to the preview versions is purely for informational purposes and applicants/recipients may not submit documents to NIH that were created using the preview functionality. Applicants/recipients must continue to use the current NIH Biosketch and Other Support forms until NIH officially implements its Common Forms, which the agency anticipates will occur in November 2025. The fall 2025 government shutdown may impact this timeline.
