According to a recent news release from the electronic Research Administration (eRA) at NIH, a new link to access ORCID.org has been added to the Personal Profile section of eRA Commons. Similar to how you can use ORCID@MSK to create/register your ORCID iD with the MSK Library and upload Synapse publications to your ORCID record, you can now add your ORCID iD to your eRA Commons account and link your ORCID publications to your grants. Take a look!

For help with eRA Commons, check out the eRA Commons Frequently Asked Questions.
For more information about ORCID and why you should obtain your unique ID, see our ORCID@MSK informational page.
