The National Institutes of Health (NIH) introduced new eRA Commons validations requiring alignment among three identifiers for all Senior/Key Personnel: (1) the eRA Commons Credential field, (2) the ORCID iD embedded in the SciENcv Common Form Biosketch, and (3) the ORCID iD linked in the eRA Commons Personal Profile. Mismatches, such as outdated ORCID iDs, stale SciENcv profiles, or ORCID accounts linked after biosketch generation, may trigger submission warnings.
General guidance can be found at the following:

Senior/Key Personnel must work with their departments to ensure these identifiers are properly affiliated and consistent prior to submission. As only account holders or delegates can update profiles, it is their responsibility to confirm accuracy. For UFIRST or general proposal questions, please contact ufproposals@ufl.edu.
