Grant Permission to Others to Update Your ORCiD
We know that faculty have many teaching, research, and clinical responsibilities and may not have time to keep their ORCID record up to date. You can grant permission to colleagues that may be helping you keep your research profiles up to date (e.g. Support Staff, Departmental administrators).
Please review the instructions on how to add a trusted individual to update your account on your behalf.

Once you have an ORCID iD, be sure to let everyone know about it! Include your 16 digit ORCID in these ways:
