Hi!
Some words from them about this system:
"Crossref Grant Linking System logo The Crossref Grant Linking System (GLS) is a service for research funders to contribute to open science infrastructure. As members of Crossref, funders create unique links and open metadata about their support of all kinds, from financial grants to prizes to use of facilities. This metadata is distributed at scale openly and globally and the unique links are acknowledged in any outputs of the funding, such as publications, preprints, data and code - in order to streamline the reporting process."
This program has 5 years already, with 35 funder members, over 100 funding programmes and 125,000 grant records.
Features of the GLS
- Globally unique persistent link and identifier for each grant
- Connected with 160 million published outputs
- Funder-designed metadata schema, including project, investigator, value, and award-type information
- Programmatic or no-code methods to send metadata
- Open search and API for all to discover funding outcomes; all metadata is distributed openly to thousands of tools and services
- Crossref-hosted landing pages
- A global community of ~50 funder advisors and 35+ funders already in the Grant Linking System
- Membership of Crossref; influence the foundational infrastructure powering open research
