In order to reduce administrative burden, researchers are required to have a Digital
Persistent Identifier (DPIs). Moreover, DPIs make it easier for researchers to create
and maintain a complete and up to date record of their publications and achievements
in one locations, thereby streamlining the grant proposal process.
While neither NSPM-33 nor the Chips and Science Act stated which specific Digital
Persistent Identifier should be used, at Oklahoma State University, we have chosen
to use ORCID ID’s. All individuals submitting a proposal to any agency (federal,
state, local, private) will be required to have an ORCID ID. If you need assistance
setting up your ORCID ID please contact the OSU Library for help and support.
