Digital Identifiers

Current guidelines from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) emphasize the importance of managing risks associated with digital identities, preserving privacy, and fostering equity and usability. ​

​Increasingly, federal funding agencies require researchers to register for digital persistent identifiers (DPIs) like ORCID, which help maintain transparency in research activities and reduce administrative burdens. ​

​For assistance in establishing a DPI, please contact Dr. Nathan Rigel, Director of Research Compliance.
