Experts Database Application Form – CESU Experts Database

The Expert’s Database has been developed as a tool to help both federal and non-federal partners to connect with experts in various research fields.

Before you get started, you’ll want to have a pdf copy of your CV and a profile photo or headshot (at least 334×334 pixels but less than 5 MB in size as a png, gif, jpg, or jpeg) ready to upload to the site.

If you’d like to apply to be listed as one of our experts, please complete the form below. If accepted you will be provided with a login to keep your information submitted on this form up to date.

Note: Checking this first box indicates that you understand that your professional data have been voluntarily provided and will be displayed on the CESU Experts Database website and on any partner websites that use our data feed, in order to connect federal partners from the CESU network and other potential funding agents with experts in particular fields of study. Upon acceptance to the database, your data will be available to the public and searchable, which may results in attempts to contact you using the information that you have provided.
