As first announced in a blog post from March 2023, UNM is now an institutional member of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifiers). ORCID iDs are unique and persistent identifiers that ensure effective management and consolidation of your research and scholarly efforts - both at UNM and elsewhere. Not only is acquiring an ORCID iD a helpful tool for maintaining your professional identity and sharing it with others, it will soon be mandatory (by 2027) for inclusion when submitting any federal funding proposals. UNM's acquisition of an institutional membership provides the university's research community with the ability to connect individual ORCID iDs to a larger UNM profile, and through APIs enables related data from similar tools (VIVO, Faculty Success) to be shared across these and other platforms.
