Non-profit research
CASRAI standards for independent research institutes
Independent research institutes — Wellcome Sanger, Broad Institute, Crick, Karolinska, RIKEN, Allen Institute, Salk, Stowers, Whitehead, and hundreds of smaller institutes worldwide — operate as research-only organisations outside the university and government-lab structures. They are heavy CRediT adopters and often pioneer open-data practices.
Global: thousands of independent research institutes
What this sector cares about
Key research-administration concerns
- Multi-institute consortium contribution attribution
- Open data + open code as institute-wide policy
- PI + staff scientist + technical contributor balance in CRediT
- Cross-institute publication-credit norms
- Membership in Plan S aligned funder collations (e.g. cOAlition S)
- PID adoption (ORCID + ROR for the institute + RAiD per project)
