Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: ORCID in the Wild featuring Health Research Board. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. Join us for ORCID in the Wild, where we discover the vast array of ORCID adoption within the scholarly community. Like seeds scattered by the wind, ORCID has taken root across the globe, sprouting connections and nurturing collaborations. In this session, we are delighted to feature the Health Research Board (HRB). As a key player in the Irish research landscape, HRB has been cultivating a robust ORCID integration strategy that serves as a masterclass in organizational buy-in and technical execution. What We’ll Explore: - The "Why" Behind the Work: Insights into HRB’s motivations for joining ORCID via the Irish Consortium and how this alignment supports their broader internal goals. - Resource Management: A transparent look at the "behind the scenes" effort—the actual time and resources dedicated to making these integrations thrive. The Tech Stack in Action: - Symplectic Grant Tracker: See how HRB collects authenticated iDs to streamline the grant application process. - ORCID Affiliation Manager: Learn how they use this tool to ensure researchers’ records accurately reflect their professional affiliations. - A Live Demonstration: A walkthrough of the integrations in a real-world environment. - Honest Reflections: The lessons learned, the hurdles jumped, and what HRB has planned for the next season of their digital roadmap. Join the Conversation! Whether you are a funder, a librarian, or a developer, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how to turn ORCID from a simple identifier into a powerful engine for data integrity. Have an ORCID use case to share with the community? Submit it for consideration for a future webinar: https://forms.gle/5LGGoBy6g1vxdh7q8
