MBIE grant management system

MBIE is on track to be the first New Zealand funder to have integrated its grants funding system with ORCID.  MBIE has begun the technical integration work and expect to have a working model in user acceptance testing by November. Subject to testing this could mean MBIE is in a position to have this functionality available to applicants in the New Year.

 

The initial integration will allow applicants to use the ORCID API to connect their ORCID iD with the grants management system (IMS) or create an ORCID iD if they don’t already have one.

 

Often the researcher is not the person filling in the application form so we have designed a work flow that will allow the administrator to send an email notification to project team members with a link to connect their ORCID iD or create and connect an iD.

 

Subsequent developments will look at the push and pull of information to and from IMS and the ORCID registry.
