We present results from calculations of the orbital evolution in eccentric
binaries of nonrotating black holes with extreme mass-ratios. Our inspiral
model is based on the method of osculating geodesics, and is the first to
incorporate the full gravitational self-force (GSF) effect, including
conservative corrections. The GSF information is encapsulated in an analytic
interpolation formula based on numerical GSF data for over a thousand sample
geodesic orbits. We assess the importance of including conservative GSF
corrections in waveform models for gravitational-wave searches.
