NIH and AHRQ encourages applicants to use the newly published
biosketch format for all grant and cooperative agreement
applications submitted for due dates on or after January 25,
2015, and will require use of the new format for applications

The revised forms and instructions are now available on the SF
424 (R&R) Forms and Applications page and adjustments have
been made to improve their usability.
The new format extends the page limit for the biosketch from
four to five pages.
Individual fellowships, R36 dissertation grants, and diversity
supplements should use the Fellowship Application Biographical
Sketch Format Page and related pre-doc and post-doc
instructions and samples, while research grant applications,
career development, training grant, and all other application
types should use the general Biographical Sketch Format Page
and instructions and sample.

“…The new NIH biosketch emphasizes
accomplishments instead of just a list of
publications…*”
The primary focus of the new NIH biosketch will be the
magnitude and significance of the scientific advances
associated with a researcher’s discoveries and the
specific role the researcher played in those findings.
This change will help reviewers evaluate not on the
publication reputation or how many times, but instead
by the accomplishments.
