The new NIH biosketch format requirement allows applicants to include a link to to a full list of their published work as found in a “publicly available digital database” such as My Bibliography.
SciENcv is a tool you can use to generate a NIH biosketch using information in your My Bibliography account and eRA Commons account.
Visit the NIH page on biosketches, including examples of fellowship and non-fellowship biosketches.
This page contains instructions for setting up and using SciENcv and My Bibliography.My Bibliography should be set up before you set up SciENcv.To comply with NIH biosketch requirements, you can include a link to My Bibliography to provide a full list of your publications.

SciENcv is a (optional) tool designed to facilitate the creation of biosketches for NIH and NSF grant applications and annual progress reports.
SciENcv links your biographical information from eRA Commons (education, work experience, award history) with your PubMed publications that have been saved in your My Bibliography account.
First, set up your My Bibliography as outlined in the box to the left. Then follow these steps:
Now your My Bibliography references are linked to the information in your eRA Commons account, and all of the information is available to generate biosketches.
For future biosketches, you can create a new profile From an Existing Profile to reuse elements.
