What is the SciENcv file upload process?
SciENcv Data Ingest (XML file upload) helps you organize data to create your Current & Pending (Other) Support documents.
Using the SciENcv template formats your information into an XML file, streamlining the upload process and significantly reducing the time and effort required—especially when a grant office prepares it in advance.
Who can benefit from XML file upload?
A wide range of users, including individuals, institutions, agencies, and organizations to streamline the process of creating Current & Pending (Other) Support documents.
Using data ingest makes the process more efficient and less time-consuming for:
• Grants administrators and compliance teams managing investigator support documentation
• Researchers and principal investigators preparing and submitting support documents
• Institutional leaders overseeing sponsored research operations
How do you get started?
The information below walks through each requirement covering the XML structure, the connection between form fields and XML tags, and offers editable templates to help you and your team create upload-ready files efficiently.
Please note: A valid file for upload can have missing element values except for the contributiontype element which must have a value entered. These fields must be completed before you can certify and download the PDF. When you view the document in SciENcv, any missing required fields will have a red exclamation point next to the entry.
