4. Provide at least one job title. Job Title & Department (Action Required)​

  • Please do not skip this section. Ensure you provide at least one job title and department that reflects your position at your institution (this is separate from your ADRC committee or Core membership). Please spell out titles completely (for example, use "Associate Professor," not "Assoc Prof").

5. Proceed to the Final Common Steps below.​

Final Common Steps (For All Users)​

Once you have completed the specific steps for your role above, complete your profile by providing the following:

1. Mobile Phone (Optional)​

  • Providing a mobile phone number is optional but helpful, as it allows Center Administrators to contact each other easily outside of the directory framework.

2. Additional Contact Information (Optional)​

  • Providing additional email addresses and work numbers is optional but helpful, as it allows authenticated members to contact each other easily. If you put information in this section, it will be viewable in the private version of the Directory, which is only accessible to authenticated members.

3. Online Presence, ORCID, & Primary Research Categories (Highly Encouraged!)​

Why fill this out?

We strongly encourage you to provide your ORCID iD, ResearchGate URL, and Primary Research Categories (expertise keywords). NACC regularly uses this information to nominate individuals for committees, review panels, and collaborative grant funding programs. Additionally, this data will soon power a searchable directory on the portal, allowing colleagues to easily find and connect with experts sharing similar research interests.
