AFREhealth in collaboration with NIH is pleased to invite you to the next session of our “Demystifying NIH” Monthly Webinar Series, titled “NIH Biosketch and Other Support using SciENcv Workshop”.

This 90-minute introductory workshop is designed to guide researchers through the preparation of NIH-compliant Biosketch and Other Support documents using SciENcv, in line with current NIH “Common Forms” requirements. The session will provide practical guidance to help applicants avoid common compliance errors that can delay or jeopardize grant submissions.

Are you:

• Applying for an NIH grant?
• Leading a funded project?
• Collaborating on a proposal?

If so, you’ll need accurate, NIH-compliant Biosketch and Other (Pending) Support documents.

Why this matters
Effective June 2026, NIH requires the use of “Common Forms” for these documents (NOT-OD-26-018, NOT-OD-26-033). Non-compliance can delay or jeopardize submissions.

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• Prepare compliant biosketches
• Complete Other (Pending) Support forms correctly
• Avoid common errors that slow down review
• Align your documents with current NIH requirements
