NSPM-33 instructs the federal funding agencies to adopt "digital persistent identifiers" and streamline their reporting to reduce the administrative burden on researchers. All US government agencies that fund research must,

  • Submit their plans for ORCID adoption by Dec 31, 2024
  • All agencies update their policies regarding ORCID by Dec 31, 2026
  • All agencies must implement ORCID adoption by Dec 31, 2027

It is important that UAH is proactive in ensuring all faculty, research staff, and research students are aware of these requirements and take appropriate action.
