Where is the funding info?
Pilot participants: Publishers
Pilot participants: Funders
Publisher-Funder Collaboration
Publishers Funders
Broad view of research producing publications and sponsoring organizations worldwide
Knowledge of agency-funded research, government programs and policies, and guidance grantees receive
Well-defined publishing systems and peer-review process
Well-defined award systems and research management process
Relationship with authors of manuscripts submitted for publication
Relationship with researchers funded by agency

The fundref Pilot: In brief
March 2012
March 2013
Approved by CrossRef
• Publishers, Manuscript Tracking Systems captured funder information on submission
• 40+ staff from all organizations.• The proof of concept was deemed successful.

Key Pilot Accomplishments
11
Industry-wide methodology for connecting scholarly publications to research funders demonstrated
Funder name and grant number metadata deposited to CrossRef
Scival funder taxonomy (contributed by Elsevier) used Requirements for ongoing Funder Registry defined
CrossRef to run Funder Registry FundRef Search created
FundRef data
Fundref Search
Funders in data now
• Air Force Office of Scientific Research
• Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)
• Army Research Office
• Australian Research Council
• Basic Energy Sciences, Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy
• Boeing
• Defense Threat Reduction
Agency
• Glenn Research Center, NASA
• National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• National Institutes of Health
• National Nuclear Security Administration, U.S. Department of Energy
• National Science Foundation

Recommendation: Launch!
• CrossRef
• Coordinate and manage FundRef
• Maintain Funder Registry
• Include FundRef data in metadata
• Charter advisory group
Role of Publishers• Modify systems to collect and display controlled funder
information metadata;
• Work with manuscript tracking systems
• Work with production vendors
• Deposit funder and grant info to CrossRef with or after bibliographic metadata deposits
Role of Funders, Authors
• Funders:• Educate grant recipients • Explore ways to use FundRef data and DOIs
• Authors: • Supply accurate funder name(s) and award
number(s)
Stakeholder Benefits
21
Researchers Evaluate scholarly content based on standard funding information across publishers
Research Institutions
Track productivity of researchers and funders supporting them
Publishers Track funders supporting journal content
FundersDemonstrate scholarly outcome from expenditures
Public Monitor research spending and outcomes
To Do• Arrange to maintain Funder Registry
(taxonomy of 4000+ funder names)• Finalize Terms & Conditions for publishers• Spread the word
CrossRef
• Plan implementation • Coordinate with vendors (manuscript tracking,
production, online)Publishers
• Assess access paths for FundRef data• Define access and search requirements• Investigate assigning DOIs to grants, proposals,
reportsFunders
FundRef Integration Prototype Implementation•Demonstrate simplicity of workflow integration
•Assure high-fidelity capture of funding agency identity
•Provide for multiple funders per manuscript
•Demonstrate use of interactive identity presentation to users
•Show downstream utilization of captured data
