National Institutes of Health (NIH) Disclosures

The NIH requires specific information to be disclosed by PIs and all project senior/key personnel at multiple points during the lifecycle of a proposal and resulting award.  Disclosure information is required within proposals, before awards are issued, and during annual progress reporting, and is provided as part of Biographical sketches, Current and Pending (Other) Support, and Facilities and Other Resources documents.  

All senior personnel are required to certify that the information within their NIH Biosketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support is current, accurate, and complete.  

Certification of disclosure documents must be completed by each senior/key person from their own SciENcv account and may NEVER be delegated.  Moreover, once an investigator certifies and downloads from SciENcv either a biosketch or current and pending support document, no edits can be made to the downloaded PDF except for updating the file name.  The file name must align with guidance as noted on Format Attachments, File Names.
