For some time, we have understood that there is significant overlap between the Funder Registry and the <a href=https://ror.org>Research Organization Registry (ROR)</a>, and funders and publishers have been asking us whether they should use Funder IDs or ROR IDs to identify funders. It has therefore become clear that <strong>merging the two registries will make workflows more efficient and less confusing for all concerned.</strong> Crossref and ROR are therefore working together to ensure that Crossref members and funders can use ROR to simplify persistent identifier integrations, to register better metadata, and to help connect research outputs to research funders.</p><p>Just yesterday, we published <a href=https://www.crossref.org/blog/open-funding-metadata-community-workshop-report/>a summary of a recent workshop between funders and publishers on funding metadata workflows</a> that we convened with the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and Sesame Open Science. As the report notes, “open funding metadata is arguably the next big thing” [in Open Science]. That being the case, we think this is the ideal time to strengthen our support of open funding metadata by beginning this transition to ROR.</p><h3 id=comparing-the-features-of-ror-and-the-funder-registry>Comparing the features of ROR and the Funder Registry <a href=#comparing-the-features-of-ror-and-the-funder-registry><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 640 512" class="ha ha-link" width="16" height="16"><path d="M579.8 267.7c56.5-56.5 56.5-148 0-204.5-50-50-128.8-56.5-186.3-15.4l-1.6 1.1c-14.4 10.3-17.7 30.3-7.4 44.6s30.3 17.7 44.6 7.4l1.6-1.1c32.1-22.9 76-19.3 103.8 8.6 31.5 31.5 31.5 82.5.0 114L422.3 334.8c-31.5 31.5-82.5 31.5-114 0-27.9-27.9-31.5-71.8-8.6-103.8l1.1-1.6c10.3-14.4 6.9-34.4-7.4-44.6s-34.4-6.9-44.6 7.4l-1.1 1.6C206.5 251.2 213 330 263 380c56.5 56.5 148 56.5 204.5.0L579.8 267.7zM60.2 244.3c-56.5 56.5-56.5 148 0 204.5 50 50 128.8 56.5 186.3 15.4l1.6-1.1c14.4-10.3 17.7-30.3 7.4-44.6s-30.3-17.7-44.6-7.4l-1.6 1.1c-32.1 22.9-76 19.3-103.8-8.6C74 372 74 321 105.5 289.5L217.7 177.2c31.5-31.5 82.5-31.5 114 0 27.9 27.9 31.5 71.8 8.6 103.9l-1.1 1.6c-10.3 14.4-6.9 34.4 7.4 44.6s34.4 6.9 44.6-7.4l1.1-1.6C433.5 260.8 427 182 377 132c-56.5-56.5-148-56.5-204.5.0L60.2 244.3z"/></svg></a></h3><p>Let’s look at some of the major similarities and differences between the two registries, including their history, features, scope, and usage, since there are important nuances and distinctions that are helpful to understand.</p><h5 id=overview>Overview <a href=#overview><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 640 512" class="ha ha-link" width="16" height="16"><path d="M579.8 267.7c56.5-56.5 56.5-148 0-204.5-50-50-128.8-56.5-186.3-15.4l-1.6 1.1c-14.4 10.3-17.7 30.3-7.4 44.6s30.3 17.7 44.6 7.4l1.6-1.1c32.1-22.9 76-19.3 103.8 8.6 31.5 31.5 31.5 82.5.0 114L422.3 334.8c-31.5 31.5-82.5 31.5-114 0-27.9-27.9-31.5-71.8-8.6-103.8l1.1-1.6c10.3-14.4 6.9-34.4-7.4-44.6s-34.4-6.9-44.6 7.4l-1.1 1.6C206.5 251.2 213 330 263 380c56.5 56.5 148 56.5 204.5.0L579.8 267.7zM60.2 244.3c-56.5 56.5-56.5 148 0 204.5 50 50 128.8 56.5 186.3 15.4l1.6-1.1c14.4-10.3 17.7-30.3 7.4-44.6s-30.3-17.7-44.6-7.4l-1.6 1.1c-32.1 22.9-76 19.3-103.8-8.6C74 372 74 321 105.5 289.5L217.7 177.2c31.5-31.5 82.5-31.5 114 0 27.9 27.9 31.5 71.8 8.6 103.9l-1.1 1.6c-10.3 14.4-6.9 34.4 7.4 44.6s34.4 6.9 44.6-7.4l1.1-1.6C433.5 260.8 427 182 377 132c-56.5-56.5-148-56.5-204.5.0L60.2 244.3z"/></svg></a></h5><table><thead><tr><th>ROR</th><th>Funder Registry</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Launched in 2019</td><td>Launched in 2013</td></tr><tr><td>Primary use case is contributor affiliation</td><td>Primary use case is funding acknowledgement</td></tr><tr><td>105k+ records</td><td>35k+ records</td></tr><tr><td>CC0 data</td><td>CC0 data</td></tr><tr><td>REST API</td><td>REST API</td></tr><tr><td>Free to use</td><td>Free to use</td></tr><tr><td>Entire registry downloadable as JSON and CSV</td><td>Entire registry downloadable as RDF;

Over the last ten years, we have encouraged the community to adopt Funder IDs, and the community has demonstrably recognized the benefits of doing so. Publishers have put a great deal of time, thought, and effort into collecting funder data and including it in Crossref metadata, and they have built internal reports and workflows around the Funder Registry. <strong>Both Crossref and ROR are committed to making the transition from the Funder Registry to the Research Organization Registry as simple as possible for those who have adopted the Funder Registry.</strong></p><p>If you are not already using the Funder Registry and are planning to begin standardizing funding data, we recommend that you use ROR to identify funders. If you are currently using the Funder Registry in your systems and workflows, don’t worry! <strong>In the short term, and even in the medium term, Funder IDs aren’t going away.</strong> Eventually, however, the Funder Registry will cease to be updated, so any new funders will only be registrable in Crossref metadata with ROR IDs. Legacy Funder IDs and their mapping to ROR IDs will be maintained, so if Crossref members submit a legacy Funder ID, it will get mapped to a ROR ID automatically. Note, too, that Crossref is committed to maintaining the current funder API endpoints until ROR IDs become the predominant identifier for newly registered content.</p><p>In short, if you are already using Funder IDs, you can and should continue to do so. However, we do recommend that you begin looking at what it will take to integrate ROR into your systems and workflows for identifying funders. Think of it as warming up before a workout: it’s time to start swinging your arms and stretching your hamstrings.</p><p>We face challenges in this transition, too. Of these, we think the largest will be (1) completing the reconciliation work involved in mapping Funder IDs to ROR IDs, and (2) overhauling Crossref’s schemas, APIs, and deposit tools to support ROR IDs in all the ways we currently support Funder IDs. We’ll discuss both of these challenges in future blog posts, but it’s worth saying that <strong>any challenges pale in comparison to the benefit of enabling the whole community to use a single open identifier in multiple places in the scholarly record.</strong></p><h3 id=tell-us-what-you-need>Tell us what you need! <a href=#tell-us-what-you-need><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 640 512" class="ha ha-link" width="16" height="16"><path d="M579.8 267.7c56.5-56.5 56.5-148 0-204.5-50-50-128.8-56.5-186.3-15.4l-1.6 1.1c-14.4 10.3-17.7 30.3-7.4 44.6s30.3 17.7 44.6 7.4l1.6-1.1c32.1-22.9 76-19.3 103.8 8.6 31.5 31.5 31.5 82.5.0 114L422.3 334.8c-31.5 31.5-82.5 31.5-114 0-27.9-27.9-31.5-71.8-8.6-103.8l1.1-1.6c10.3-14.4 6.9-34.4-7.4-44.6s-34.4-6.9-44.6 7.4l-1.1 1.6C206.5 251.2 213 330 263 380c56.5 56.5 148 56.5 204.5.0L579.8 267.7zM60.2 244.3c-56.5 56.5-56.5 148 0 204.5 50 50 128.8 56.5 186.3 15.4l1.6-1.1c14.4-10.3 17.7-30.3 7.4-44.6s-30.3-17.7-44.6-7.4l-1.6 1.1c-32.1 22.9-76 19.3-103.8-8.6C74 372 74 321 105.5 289.5L217.7 177.2c31.5-31.5 82.5-31.5 114 0 27.9 27.9 31.5 71.8 8.6 103.9l-1.1 1.6c-10.3 14.4-6.9 34.4 7.4 44.6s34.4 6.9 44.6-7.4l1.1-1.6C433.5 260.8 427 182 377 132c-56.5-56.5-148-56.5-204.5.0L60.2 244.3z"/></svg></a></h3><p>We want to hear from you.

You can also contact Crossref via our <a href="https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001642691">request form</a> or email ROR at <a href=mailto:info@ror.org>info@ror.org</a>, and you can attend online <a href=/events/>Crossref events</a> and <a href=https://ror.org/events>ROR events</a> to get updates from us and ask us your questions.</p><p>One of the major messages we’re already hearing from funders and publishers is expressed in <a href=https://www.crossref.org/blog/open-funding-metadata-community-workshop-report/>yesterday’s post on open funding metadata</a>: “While many concluded that there was still a long way to go to solve the many technical challenges related to funding metadata, attendees were unanimous on its importance.” We look forward to beginning this important work together.</p><div class='callout grey'><div
