Europe PMC integrates ROR into its Grant Finder
2023-03-28
(Press-News.org) Europe PMC, one of the largest providers of high-performance search tools for life sciences literature, has announced that its Grant Finder now incorporates Research Organization Registry (ROR) IDs to help users find active and completed grants awarded by Europe PMC funders. As one of the operating organizations of ROR, Crossref is pleased to jointly announce this news.
Integrating ROR IDs into the Europe PMC Grant Finder means that organizational name variations are now aggregated under a single name, which allows people to search for different aliases and receive the same set of results. Europe PMC used the ROR API in conjunction with a manual screening step to match 82% of associated institutions in the Europe PMC grants database (GRIST) to over 2600 ROR IDs. ROR IDs are now returned as part of the GRIST API core response along with the institution name. The ROR ID is also used to auto-suggest a matching affiliation when a user searches for grants awarded to a particular institution by typing a name in the "Affiliation" field of the Grant Finder. This integration is now live at http://europepmc.org/grantfinder.
Europe PMC has supported ROR IDs for author affiliations since 2019, and in 2021 ROR IDs were added to a subset of publications by EMBL-affiliated authors as part of Project FREYA. Additional work for Project FREYA included the development of the ROR Predictor prototype, which enables matching author affiliations in research outputs with PMIDs to ROR IDs. Europe PMC also uses ROR IDs to enrich the DOI metadata of the research grants it registers with Crossref on behalf of the Wellcome Trust.
“Linking research outputs via persistent identifiers makes related information findable and helps track provenance. Incorporating ROR IDs for grant awards supports DORA-compatible research reporting for funders and institutions who need to understand the impact of research,” said Melissa Harrison, Team Leader of Literature Services at EMBL-EBI.
Said ROR Project Lead Maria Gould of the California Digital Library, "Europe PMC has been remarkably forward-looking in its early use of ROR, and we are excited to see other services follow their example."

###
About ROR: The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a global, community-led registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations. ROR IDs make metadata about research organizations cleaner and easier to exchange so that research outputs can be reliably connected to research organizations. ROR offers free, curated CC0 data available via an open REST API and public downloadable dataset, and ROR is the preferred organizational identifier of Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID. ROR is jointly operated by Crossref, DataCite, and the California Digital Library as an essential part of open scholarly research infrastructure.

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Researchers found that a minimally invasive procedure combined with epidural steroid injection treatment led to superior pain reduction and disability improvement over one year in patients with sciatica. The results of the study were published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The combined treatment performed better than steroid injections alone.
Sciatica is pain that originates along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the back of the pelvis down the back of the thigh. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. Treatments ...

Fukuoka, Japan—Solid oxide fuel cells, or SOFC, are a type of electrochemical device that generates electricity using hydrogen as fuel, with the only 'waste' product being water. Naturally, as we strive to reduce our carbon output and mitigate the casualties of the climate crisis, both business and academia have taken major interest in the development of SOFCs.
In what can potentially accelerate the development of more efficient SOFCs, a research team led by Kyushu University has uncovered the chemical innerworkings of a perovskite-based ...

Can monetary policy such as the United States Federal Reserve raising interest rates affect the environment? According to a new study by Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business, it can.
Using a stylized dynamic aggregate demand-aggregate supply (AD-AS) model, researchers explored the consequences of traditional monetary tools – namely changes in the short-term interest rate – to the environment. Specifically, they looked at how monetary policy impacts CO2 emissions in the short and long run. The AD-AS model conveys several interlocking relationships between the four macroeconomic goals of growth, unemployment, inflation and a sustainable balance ...

Endometrial cancer, which makes up about 90% of uterine cancers, will be diagnosed in more than 65,000 people in the United States this year. It is the fourth most common cancer in women and is one of the few cancers that is increasing in incidence and mortality. Unfortunately, very few treatments have been developed specifically for endometrial cancer.
Now, new research published March 27, 2023, in The New England Journal of Medicine finds adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) to standard chemotherapy greatly improves patient outcomes in both patients whose tumors have a genetic alteration leading ...

WHAT:
Scientists have identified an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the LYN gene, an important regulator of immune responses in health and disease. Named Lyn kinase-associated vasculopathy and liver fibrosis (LAVLI), the identification sheds light on how genes linked to certain illnesses can potentially be targets for treatment by repurposing existing drugs. The research, published in Nature Communications, was led by Adriana A. de Jesus, M.D. Ph.D., and Raphaela Goldbach-Mansky, M.D., M.H.S. of the Translational ...

The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT, President Kim Byung-suk) developed a smart sensor that detects signs of ground or structure collapses and a real-time remote monitoring system.
The development of the sensor and system began with a search for a method of instant sensing of the collapse of slopes or buildings caused by ground movement for immediate response. This led to the development of a smart sensor that turns on a LED warning light upon detecting ground movement. The ...

Replacement per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) heralded as safe for use in food packaging break down into toxic PFAS that leak into our food and environment, suggests a study published today in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
Due to the known exposure risks of using smaller PFAS molecules like PFOA and PFOS in food-contact materials, many companies have pivoted to using larger polymeric PFAS to make their wrappers, bowls, and other fast-food packaging water- and grease-repellant. ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto, Indiana University and University of Notre Dame have detected levels of toxic PFAS chemicals—short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—for the first time in Canadian fast-food packaging, specifically water-and-grease repellent paper alternatives to plastic.
Published today in Environmental Science and Technology Letters, the findings suggest that food packaging exposes people directly to PFAS, which have been linked to serious health effects such as increased cancer risk and immune system damage, by contaminating the food they eat. Further, once discarded packaging enters waste streams, PFAS enter the environment, where these ...
