In fiscal year 2020, NIH – joined by CDC and AHRQ – will begin requiring individuals supported by training, fellowship, career development, and other research education awards to have an ORCID iD linked to their personal electronic Research Administration (eRA) account (NOT-OD-19-109). In short, by leveraging ORCID investigators, fellows, and trainees can focus on moving their innovative scientific research ideas forward instead of spending time and effort updating federal user profiles with every new change, be it different federal granting agencies or new institutions.
