ORCID is required for some funding sources. It is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. ORCID helps governments and policy makers elevate the integrity of their region’s research with trustworthy data, which serves to better align research and national PID and infrastructure strategies with global community standards.
