In 2022 and 2023, the US Office of Science, Technology, and Policy issued several new policies that affect the processes of applying for and publishing research products supported by federal funding. First, a researcher submitting a proposal must have a unique digital persistent identifier (ORCID ID). Not only does an ORCID ID distinguish you as an individual, it also reduces administrative burdens and enhances research security and integrity. Second, researchers are required to make their data open to the public. Third, researchers must make their publications or other creative products instantly freely available. This workshop will provide an overview of why these policies are in place and how to follow to them.
