 ORCID at UF: The University of Florida’s response to NSPM-33

February 23, 2025   Lyrasis - ORCID US

"The University of Florida (UF) became an ORCID member organization in 2017 initially through the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) consortium, prior to joining the ORCID US Community consortium in 2018. This blog post is based on a presentation by Stephanie Gray, Assistant Vice President & Director of Sponsored Programs, and Karen Pastos, Project Manager, for the ORCID US Community Webinar: ORCID & NSPM-33 (National Security Presidential Memo 33) on July 21, 2022. Many thanks to Stephanie and Karen for sharing their experience, as well as Jordan Edwards, Database Administrator, for developing the custom ORCID API integration described below.

The University of Florida is a large public land grant university in Gainesville, Florida comprised of 16 colleges, with 5,818 faculty, 9,682 staff, 53,372 students, and ~3,000 key personnel on federal awards/proposals receiving $1.076 billion in research expenditures fiscal year 2022. So, when NSPM-33 made it clear that federal funding agencies would soon be using ORCID to identify researchers and enable more efficient disclosures (either optionally or required), staff in the research office (UF Research) began to take note, looking at how the University could prepare for changes to sponsor requirements and reduce administrative burden for faculty seeking federal funding."  (more)
