CASRAI standards in the United States

The US research-administration environment is the world's most heavily funded (~$700B total R&D, 2024) and the most procedurally complex — NIH, NSF, DOE, NASA, USDA, and dozens of other federal agencies plus the National Science and Technology Council's NSPM-33 Common Disclosure regime. CRediT adoption is widespread on the publication side; SciENcv-driven biosketches are mandatory federally.
