If you are in the process of chasing US Federal Funding, it’s important to ensure that you have the proper tools, resources, and information. This will help create a competitive proposal. We highly recommend assembling your team ahead of time. Additionally, we recommend using the pre-proposal preparation period to ensure the team’s resumes are up to date. Read the solicitation carefully before updating resumes. Each federal funder has different formatting mandates for resumes and will request different information.
Using SciENcv for resumes
To take the guesswork out of drafting a resume that aligns with the solicitation’s requirements, we also strongly encourage applicants to use the SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae). This tool is specifically designed for researchers and scientists. This makes it the perfect option for those who are looking to secure funding for their projects. It offers several options for templates based on the funding agency you wish to apply with. SciENcv ensures your file is formatted correctly and not corrupt. It allows you to easily create and maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date resume that highlights your skills, experiences, and achievements.
Heads up: As of October 2023, using SciENcv to create your resume for all NSF and NIH proposals will be mandatory!
When it comes to funding proposals, having a strong team is essential. This means that you must ensure that all senior personnel with a role in your proposal have a well-crafted resume. Resumes must showcase their expertise and experience. The SciENcv tool can help you achieve this by providing a user-friendly platform for creating and managing resumes.
The benefits of SciENcv
By using the SciENcv tool, you can rest assured that your resume is up-to-date, accurate, and tailored to the specific requirements of the funding agency. This can go a long way in helping you stand out from the competition and secure the funding you need to bring your research to life.
If you are chasing US Federal Funding, we highly recommend using the SciENcv tool to create your resume. By doing so, you can ensure that all senior personnel involved in your proposal have a strong and comprehensive resume. Strong resumes can increase your chances of securing the funding you need.
