Featured Initiative
A digital persistent identifier (DPI), such as an ORCiD, grants scholars control of their publication and profile data throughout their career, even if they change their name or institutional affiliation. DPIs also ensure reliable citation, attribution, and linking of research outputs. ORCiD can also be linked to SciENcv to save time when building proposal documents for NSF and NIH submissions.

GW Research is Transforming Lives
Every day, researchers at the George Washington University take on some of the world’s toughest challenges, delivering real-world impact and insights through their relentless pursuit of knowledge and a deeper understanding of our world. From advancing cancer therapies and the prevention of diabetes in at-risk populations, to building trustworthy AI systems and next-generation computer chips, much of their work is made possible through vital federal investments.
With support from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, NASA, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, GW advances life-saving innovations, fuels economic growth, and prepares the next generation of leaders.
