Our Commitment

Systems built over centuries have encouraged us to protect our work, to guard our funding, to gate our breakthroughs. There is exceptional value in holding ourselves to the highest standards in publication and research—but there is also exceptional value in peeling back the layers that have slowed us down to accelerate forward. Open research is here. Altum makes sure you’re ready.

of applicants on ProposalCentral use an ORCID ID (June 2022)

CHALLENGE
Without a universal identifier for researchers, it’s difficult to identify applicants, avoid peer review conflict of interest, and manage awardee deliverables.

Solution
ORCID allows scientists to manage their biography, career accomplishments, and education information in one place – saving them time and ensuring that the researcher and their outputs are unambiguous.

CHALLENGE
Without a universal identifier for researchers and awardees, it’s difficult to identify, track or highlight the work that they do.

Solution
With an ORCID ID associated with the researcher, reporting for institutions and funders becomes easier and more accurate.

CHALLENGE
The Holy Grail for boards and donors is to show the return on investment associated with research grants. This is incredibly challenging today. First you must establish the connections between awardees, grants, publications, and patents. Then you must visualize those connections. Doing this without persistent identifiers is vexing, laborious, and prone to fail.

Solution
Altum Insights enables grant makers to see the connections instantly and accurately between people, programs, and publications. Funders that require the use of ORCID IDs for all applicants and who push grants to the Crossref Registry get the highest return.
