Researchers and research administrators involved in federal submissions should review all SciENcv-generated biosketches and Current & Pending (Other) Support documents to ensure they reflect the updated electronic signature certificate. Documents must display a certificate expiration date of March 14, 2027. Any files showing September 26, 2026, or an earlier date must be regenerated, recertified in SciENcv, and replaced prior to submission to avoid potential validation errors.
Who is affected? All federal submissions requiring a SciENcv-generated biosketch and/or Current & Pending Support document.
Action: Review and update documents as needed before submission. For step-by-step guidance and visual examples to verify certificate dates and regenerate required documents, download the SciENcv Certificate Verification Instructions.
