ORCID's Funder Working Group, part of the ORBIT (ORCID Reducing Burden and Improving Transparency) initiative, has published three reports summarising their work to date. The reports cover ORCID and grant DOIs and the use of ORCID in grant applications and grant reporting processes.
Collectively, they summarise how and why to use ORCID and other persistent identifiers at all stages of the funding cycle - from grant application to publication - including: enabling automated sharing of information about researchers and their grants between systems and organisations; reducing the reporting process burden on researchers and funders by using information from ORCID records to fill forms and to track research contributions; and improving data quality by adding information about funding to ORCID records.
All the reports and supporting materials are freely available under a CC0 license.
