Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCID (for researchers) and DOIs (for publications and datasets) have become widespread and accepted within academia. There is, as of yet, no standard for using identifiers for scientific instruments and facilities. This session will discuss the progress of an NSF FAIR Open Science Research Coordination Network-funded project including the reasons for using PIDs for facilities and instruments, the challenges that will be faced in pushing for their widespread adoption, and incentives that might encourage researchers and staff to use them.
