Funder Registry

Funder Registry (FundRef until November 2015) aims to provide a solution to track funding sources. It’s an open and unique registry of persistent identifiers for grant-giving organizations around the world. It enables multiple parties to better understand the research funding landscape. Researchers can read and assess literature in the context of knowing who funded it; research institutions can monitor the published outputs of their researchers; and publishers can track who is funding their authors and check if they’re meeting funding mandates. Facilitated by Crossref, Funder Registry is a collaborative project of scholarly publishers and funding agencies that supports a standard way of reporting funding sources for published scholarly research.
