SciENcv Introductory WorkshopPlease join Erin Owens (Professor, Scholarly Communications Librarian) and ORSP for a SciENcv Introductory Workshop.
Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is an electronic system that helps researchers assemble the professional information needed for participation in federally funded research. SciENcv gathers and compiles information on expertise, employment, education and professional accomplishments. Researchers can use SciENcv to create and maintain biosketches that are submitted with grant applications and annual reports. SciENcv allows researchers to describe and highlight their scientific contributions in their own words.
We will be hosting two virtual workshops on September 16 (3-4pm) and September 17 (2-3pm). Click on the button below to join either workshop. Reach out to our team if you have any questions!
