Add information about grants, awards, or other types of funding that you have received to support your research.
Trusted organizations can also add/update this information, and we strongly encourage you to give them permission to do so (learn more about auto-updates). Look for the green iD icon next time you submit a grant. Your funder will be listed as the source of the affiliation on your record. Allowing your funder to add and update your grants means you now have easily shareable information that is authoritative and trustworthy, and saves you time when completing forms.

Funding items added with a Search and Link Wizard will display the relevant organization as the source of the item and you as the source of the connection between that item and your record. This displays as “[researcher name] via [wizard name].”
