Funder Working Group

Related: Reports and ORCID Recommendations from ORBIT Funder Working Group

The Funder Working Group was active from December 2017 until September  2019. The following information provides historical reference and context of the now inactive group.

Funders are working with ORCID to enhance our data model and third party service integrations ​to broaden connections to the array of research and career ​data usually contained in grant applications, post award reports, and biographies. We established the Funder Working Group (FWG) to formalize these interactions. The group included funders large and small, national and global, government and charity, disciplinary and broad multidisciplinary.

The primary objective of the FWG was to provide expert input on the ORCID Reducing Burden and Improving Transparency (ORBIT) project, with the goal of improving local and global reusability of research and researcher information by describing and testing opportunities for convenience and efficiency gains in grant application and reporting workflows.

In addition to data model requirements, topics for the ORCID FWG included persistent identifiers for grants, interactions with publishers, data sharing workflows, and administrative burden for researchers. Group members had policy, program, and/or technical expertise. The ORCID project team  brought in additional expertise from the persistent identifier and research information community as needed.
