ORCID Requirements

Starting October 1, 2019, ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identification) identifiers will be required by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for the following:

  • Individuals supported by institutional research training, career development, and other research education awards.
  • PD/PIs on individual fellowship and career development applications submitted for due dates on or after January 25, 2020.

Please note that eRA system validations will check whether applicants have ORCID iDs and applications will not be accepted unless an ORCID iD is linked to the PD/PI's eRA Commons Personal Profile. Additionally, xTrain appointments will not be accepted for agency review if potential appointees do not have an ORCID iD linked to their eRA personal profile.

To assist the Cornell research community with understanding and obtaining ORCID identifiers, OSP will be hosting our colleagues from the Cornell University Library at the OSP Roundtable on Thursday, September 19th at 9:30am. Further information regarding this event will be forthcoming.

Additional information on how to obtain an ORCID can be found at the Cornell University Library’s ORCID@Cornell website (https://guides.library.cornell.edu/orcid) and in NIH Policy Notice NOT-OD-19-109 (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-19-109.html).

Please direct any questions regarding ORCID identifiers to orcid-help@cornell.edu, your Grant and Contract Officer, or osp-help@cornell.edu.
