Description: In this webinar, the ORCID US Community welcomes guest speaker Neil Thakur, founder and principal of Thakur Health Sciences, LLC and author of a recent post for the Federation of American Scientists titled Reduce Administrative Research Burden with ORCID and DOI Persistent Digital Identifiers, to set the stage and join us for a discussion on why connected persistent identifiers (PIDs), especially ORCID iDs and Grant DOIs, are essential tools for funders to enhance transparency, track the impact of their investments, and assess outcomes more effectively. We’ll explore current best practices for integrating ORCID and related PIDs into funding workflows, highlighting examples from funders in the U.S. and internationally who are already realizing the benefits of PID adoption. Attendees will come away with practical recommendations, actionable next steps, and access to resources and ongoing support to help advance PID implementation within their own organizations.
