Current situation or problem:
Funders currently only exist as a list of string values. However, funders are organisations with properties that would be useful to record. In addition when recording a funder for a request, sometimes there are funder reference numbers (e.g. DFG Project ID) that are required for tracking and reporting
In scope
- Expanding the "Funder" record to be a proper set of information for the funder (the funder is currently just a value from a controlled list) including:
- Funder Name
- Funder DOI
- Other information tbd
- UI to find/update funder information
- Adding funder reference to the "fundings" object in a request in the model
- Making it possible to add/update the funder reference
- Investigate potential integration with the OpenFunderRegistry to import funders or update funder information
Questions
- Do we need to support search by funder reference number?
- Does funder reference number need to be included in any reports?
