Partnership seeks faculty input

The Federal Demonstration Partnership – a partnership between universities and major federal agencies – is developing methods to reduce the administrative reporting burden on researchers and promote the sharing of scientific ideas.

The partnership is piloting development of a CV platform to be called the Science Experts Network and Curriculum Vitae (SciENCV). One goal is to facilitate the auto-population of federal grant forms. Another is to support research networking. SciENCV will be voluntary so its success depends on its value to future users.

The partnership is seeking feedback from potential users to help improve its processes. The online questionnaire seeks input from faculty researchers and departmental research administrators. To complete the survey, click the appropriate link:
