Your Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID) is a persistent digital identifier to connect you to your research output. ORCID is a non-profit initiative driven by a global community of research institutions and agencies, publishers, funding bodies, and professional associations. It provides an online profile to link to your other professional profiles, accurate author identification and publication attribution, full integration with the ARC RMS (which simplifies the grant application process), and is supported my many publishers.
