In addition to the reports included by default in your system, Faculty Success can add a handful of pre-constructed reports for common audiences. As part of our suite of base reports, Faculty Success maintains a custom report fitting the Biographical Sketch template for National Institute of Health (NIH) grant applications.
NIH is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for biomedical and health-related research. NIH conducts its own research, as well as providing funding for non-NIH research projects. The Biographical Sketch is one piece used in developing applications for grants from NIH.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is NIH’s science and engineering counterpart. Faculty Success also maintains a base report of the NSF Biographical Sketch. More information about that report can be found in the article Base Reports: NSF Biographical Sketch.
In December 2014, NIH announced a new biosketch format to be used in grant applications, which will be encouraged for applications due after January 25, 2015 and required for all applications after May 25, 2015. As part of the announcement, NIH outlined the following changes:
“The new format extends the page limit from four to five pages, and allows researchers to describe up to five of their most significant contributions to science, along with the historical background that framed their research. Investigators can outline the central findings of prior work and the influence of those findings on the investigator’s field. Investigators involved in Team Science are provided the opportunity to describe their specific role(s) in the work. Each description can be accompanied by a listing of up to four relevant peer-reviewed publications or other non-publication research products, including audio or video products; patents; data and research materials; databases; educational aids or curricula; instruments or equipment; models; protocols; and software or netware that are relevant to the described contribution. In addition to the descriptions of specific contributions and documentation, researchers will be allowed to include a link to a full list of their published work as found in a publicly available digital database such as MyBibliography or SciENcv.”

To support the use of this new format, Faculty Success updated the NIH base report and the screen faculty use to prepare it in January 2015.
