<div style='font-weight: 400;'>ORCID integration in SmartSimple Cloud streamlines can streamline the grant application process and reporting processes for researchers by enabling the populating automatic population of their personal and professional review summary to data''' '''from their ORCID profilesprofile. This automation saves time, reduces errors, and minimizes administrative burden, allowing researchers to focus more on their research activities.</div>

<div style='font-weight: 400;'>For research funding organizations, this integration offers improved data quality and accuracy. By leveraging ORCID’s verified data, these organizations can ensure precise current and accurate researcher information for funding decisionsevaluations, reducing and more easily track the progress and impact of the need for extensive data verificationresearch they fund.</div>

<div style='font-weight: 400;'>In the peer review process, ORCID integration links reviewers’ expertise and histories with their ORCID iDs, ensuring appropriate matching to grant applications. This improves the relevance and quality of reviews. Additionally, ORCID allows peer reviewers to include their reviewing activities in their research funding organizations can, with reviewer’s permission, update researcher’s ORCID records, providing professional recognition and encouraging more researchers to participate in the peer publicly acknowledge review processactivities.</div>

<div style='font-weight: 400;'>The ORCID API is essential for the integration process, enabling real-time access to researchers’ ORCID records. This facilitates authentication, data synchronization, and continuous auto updates within grant management systems. By automating these tasks, the API enhances user experience for researchers and administrators, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.</div>

<div style='font-weight: 400;'>In the following sections, we will describe how to configure this integration in the SmartSimple Cloud system. </div>
