New Granting Organizations for MEDLINE/PubMed

Tybaert S. New Granting Organizations for MEDLINE/PubMed. NLM Tech Bull. 2014 May-Jun;(398):e1.

May 05, 2014 [posted]

Effective May 2014, seven new granting organizations will be added for the Grant Number (GR) field found in MEDLINE/PubMed citations. These new organizations are from Europe PubMed Central (Europe PMC) and the Health Research Alliance (HRA).

Grant information for the Europe PMC organizations is added to citations based only on information reported to Europe PMC Plus system.

For Europe PMC, the two new organizations are:

Organization Country
National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research
 United Kingdom
World Health Organization International

The five new HRA organizations are:

Organization Country
Donaghue Foundation United States
Doris Duke Charitable Foundation United States
Lymphoma Research Foundation United States
Parkinson’s Disease Foundation United States
Susan G. Komen United States

The funding information added to citations for these organizations will be coming from the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS) system and the Europe PMC Plus system only. Each of these granting organizations has its own grant number formats.

We recommend users search for the new granting organizations using the full name:

world health organization [gr]

The PubMed Abstract display will show the funding information under Grant Support.
