About the Organization
ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a global, not-for-profit organization sustained by fees from our member organizations. We are community-built and governed by a Board of Directors representative of our membership with wide stakeholder representation. ORCID is supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable professional staff.
Our Vision: ORCID’s vision is a world where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.
Our Mission: In order to realize our vision, ORCID strives to enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.
About the Grant
ORCID’s Global Participation Fund (GPF) has been developed to remedy these gaps in ORCID participation from organizations in the Global South, especially in countries with low- and lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank). In these Focus Communities” of the GPF, we aim to provide funds to: foster the development of ORCID Communities of Practice, working with local partners who can build understanding and use of ORCID in local contexts; and create and enhance technical integrations to support the realization of the benefits provided by the use of ORCID. Proposing organizations do not need to be current ORCID members.
The GPF will initially provide competitive grants under two different grant programs:
- Grants for Community Development and Outreach to financially support:
- local partners to build ORCID Communities of Practice in Focus Community regions; and
- local outreach, training, and tech support resources for the creation and growth of ORCID consortia that serve those regions.
- Grants for Technical Integration to financially support:
- software development to build and update ORCID integrations in open-source systems that will enable or facilitate participation in ORCID in Focus Community regions and
- the creation of technical documentation, outreach, and support for resources created through the grants.
Grant sizes:
The number and size of grants are largely dependent on the Fund’s size. During the 2022–23 Fund year, we expect to award 10 grants of US$5,000–20,000 each. The first tranche of grants will be awarded in November 2022; and a further tranche will be awarded around May 2023.
80% of the grant funding will be provided at the time of the award. The final 20% of the awarded funds will be provided upon submitting a grantee final report that highlights program accomplishments and impact, and reconciles budgeted financials. Further details about final report expectations will be provided to successful projects. Note that the amount awarded to successful applicants may differ from that requested in the original proposal.
Grant durations:
The duration for all grants will be one year. If grantees complete funded work before the end of the year, they may submit their final report to receive the final grant payment. If a grantee needs more time to complete the proposed work, extensions may be granted at ORCID’s discretion.
Grantees may submit additional proposals after the completion of funded work. Follow-on proposals may continue previously proposed work or can represent new work. Organizations may not receive more than two grants from this fund and may not have more than one active grant at a time.
Who can Apply
The GPF is designed to develop ORCID Communities of Practice in low- and lower-middle-income economies, as designated by the World Bank, particularly in the Global South where ORCID participation to date has been low (the Focus Communities.) All aspects of the GPF and its grant programs are designed to benefit those in this region. If your organization is either from one of these countries, or the grant will benefit research infrastructure in one of the following countries, we encourage you to apply.
