The grant number information format in the PubMed Abstract display will be:

grant number/organization name/country name

For example:

Grant Support

Searching Grant Numbers

Search for Europe PMC grant number information in the following ways:

• Grant number to retrieve citations with a specific grant:

  14028 [gr]

• Full organization name or pieces of the name to retrieve citations with grants from a specific granting organization:

  leukaemia and lymphoma research [gr]

  lymphoma [gr]

• Country name to retrieve all citations with grants for granting organizations from a specific country:

  united kingdom [gr]

Comprehensive searching for a grant number can be more complicated because the information is not necessarily reported in a standardized format. Include the country name or the organization name in the search to be sure that the results are for the correct organization of interest, especially if searching only on a number string, e.g.:

123 [gr] AND alzheimer’s society [gr]

The NLM Web resource page, Grant Number Information Found in the GR Field in MEDLINE/PubMed has been updated with these two new non-US funding organizations.
