Similar to what NIH supported trainees and fellows must do, senior and key personnel designated on NIH grant applications will be required to have an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identification) linked to their eRA Commons profile in May 2025. But why wait until then to join thousands of scientists who have already done so…

Dr. Bart Trawick, who leads the Customer Services Section within the National Library of Medicine’s National Center for Biotechnology Information, will tell us the benefits of growing ORCIDs in the scientific community in this episode of the NIH All About Grants podcast (check out the video too!). We will discuss where these unique digital identifiers came from, why they are important, how they are integrated into NIH applications (and those from other federal funders), where to go with questions, and much more. 

“It’s really easy to register for this and it’s free. So anyone at any time can go over to ORCID and register for one of these identifiers and start to use it right away. It’s going to help you as you publish your papers…ORCID is really good at surveying the landscape of scientific literature and adding anything it sees with your ORCID identifier right into your profile. And once it’s in there, you can use it in ScienCV.” – Dr. Bart Trawick
