ORCiD Information for UC San Diego

Connecting NSF & ORCiD

SciENcv now helps researchers to complete biosketches, both the NSF Biosketch and the one for Current & Pending Support.  You can use either your NSF account to populate the biosketch or you can use your ORCiD account to add information with a couple of clicks instead of retyping the information.  To make full use of your ORCiD profile in your NSF Biosketch, it helps to know which NSF sections match the ORCiD sections.
