Another tip for @ucdavis.bsky.social investigators preparing their new NIH Common Form biosketch! You can arrange your Products by clicking them in the reverse order you'd like them listed (first one clicked is at the bottom of the list, last one clicked will be listed at the top). #academicsky
@ucdavis.bsky.social Another tip for the new NIH biosketches. Up to 10 TOTAL products allowed in the whole biosketch (5 in each of two parts). Part 1 (circled in red) are referenced in the Personal Statement. Part 2 (circled in green) are referenced in the Contributions to Science. #academicsky
@ucdavis.bsky.social For those who don't want to write HTML code to format their NIH biosketch Personal Statement and Contributions to Science, use a Canvas page to format, click the </> button, then copy and paste everything into SciENcv. Just remember the tags count as characters! #academicsky
Quick tip for those working on new NIH biosketchs: When importing positions from ORCiD, SciENcv doesn't recognize your current position. To correct this and update your Position Title under identifying info, edit your current position and click the button - this will fix both at once. #academicsky
@ucdavis.bsky.social The Common Form for Biosketches and C&P support is now live! Please see our updated handout for details. tinyurl.com/4t65f6jj @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social @ucdavismedschool.bsky.social @ucdavisengineering.bsky.social @ucdlands.bsky.social @ucdavisare.bsky.social

Grant writers (and RD professionals) need to wear many hats on the journey to funding success, one of which is storytelling! When done effectively, storytelling draws in your reviewers, keeps them reading, and helps them share your project vision. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1... #academicsky
