Beginning on May 25, 2025 the SciENcv tool must be used to complete all NIH Common Forms and an ORCID must be provided in the persistent identifier section of the new Common Forms.
The My NCBI account, which features the SciENcv tool, lets you link your ORCID and use its record to populate Common Forms. The link is established by adding the ORCID account to the My NCBI account.
