Funder ID
An identifier from the Crossref Funder Registry (formerly FundRef), a curated, open registry of funder names and identifiers used by publishers to tag deposited works with the funders that supported them.
Research funder
An organisation providing financial support for research activity.
Carbon accounting (research)
The systematic measurement, calculation, and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions across research activities, applying standard methodologies and emission factors to produce auditable CO2-equivalent totals.
Scope 1 / 2 / 3 emissions (research org)
The categorisation of a research organisation's greenhouse-gas emissions following the GHG Protocol: scope 1 (direct on-site combustion), scope 2 (purchased electricity, heat, steam, cooling), and scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain, including procurement, commuting, travel, and waste).
Climate impact statement (in DMP)
A structured section in a data management plan or research proposal that estimates and discusses the environmental impact of planned research activities, including travel, computing, equipment, consumables, and data storage.
Climate-aware funding
Research funding policies and award practices that explicitly incorporate climate and environmental sustainability considerations into eligibility, proposal review, and reporting.
Travel emissions (academic)
The greenhouse gas emissions arising from academic business travel, principally air travel for conferences, fieldwork, collaboration visits, and external examining.
Reusable consumables
Laboratory items historically used once and discarded that are redesigned, repurposed, or substituted with multi-use alternatives, including washable tip-box racks, autoclavable glass tubes, refillable spray bottles, and washable lab coats.
Green Lab Certification
Any formal third-party assessment that verifies a laboratory meets defined sustainability criteria, most commonly issued by LEAF or My Green Lab.
LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework)
A standards-based assessment framework developed by University College London that scores wet and dry laboratories on energy, waste, water, procurement, and research-quality practices, awarding Bronze, Silver, or Gold accreditation.
Project metadata
The structured descriptive data about a research project, including title, abstract, dates, funder, award number, PI, contributors, institutions, scope, keywords, outputs, and identifiers (RAiD, ORCID, ROR, DOI), used for discovery, reporting, and linkage.
Project ID (RAiD-anchored)
A persistent, machine-actionable identifier for a research project, typically issued under the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) standard ISO 23527, used to unambiguously identify the project across systems, funders, institutions, and outputs.
Output legacy planning
The explicit planning, typically conducted late in execution and at closeout, for the long-term stewardship, accessibility, and re-use of project outputs (data, software, publications, prototypes, networks) beyond the project's funded lifetime.
Post-project sustainability
The planning and provision for ongoing maintenance, hosting, support, or further development of project outputs (software, datasets, networks, services, communities) after the funded project has formally ended.
Termination (grant)
The formal ending of a grant award before its scheduled end date, initiated by the sponsor or recipient, due to non-performance, mutual agreement, loss of funding, or other defined cause.
Mid-term review
A formal review conducted at approximately the midpoint of a research project, evaluating progress against aims, resource utilisation, and the realism and feasibility of the plan for the remaining project duration.
Archive phase
The post-closeout lifecycle phase during which project records, datasets, code, and documentation are deposited in appropriate repositories for long-term preservation, access, and possible re-use.
Reporting phase
The lifecycle phase or sub-phase during which scheduled progress and financial reports are prepared and submitted to the sponsor, typically overlapping with later execution and closeout.
Award phase
The lifecycle phase between sponsor decision to fund and start of the period of performance, covering notification, negotiation of terms, contracting, ethics and other compliance approvals, and project mobilisation.

The Grant Lifecycle as Structured Data: Funder-to-Institution Reporting
Introduction to Grant Lifecycle in Scholarly Spaces Managing a research grant involves exchanging vast amounts of information between funders, universities, and compliance officers. Treating the grant lifecycle as structured data streamlines administrative reporting and improves scientific tracking.

Paying for open access: APCs, transformative agreements and funder block grants
Open access removes paywalls for readers, but publishing still costs money. Article processing charges, transformative read-and-publish agreements and funder block grants are the main ways those costs are now met — each with its own promise and its own equity risks.

Institutional Repositories and Green Open Access: Compliance with Funder Mandates
Introduction to Institutional Repositories in Scholarly Spaces Green Open Access—the practice of self-archiving peer-reviewed manuscripts in institutional repositories—is a critical, cost-effective pathway for achieving compliance with public funding mandates (such as the US Nelson Memo and Plan S). The Role of Institutional Repositories in Open Access Institutional Repositories (IRs) are university-managed digital archives designed to […]

Reporting research outcomes to funders: from outputs to impact
Funders increasingly want to know not just what a grant produced but what difference it made. Outcome-reporting systems such as Researchfish and the US RPPR, persistent-identifier linking and narrative impact are reshaping how researchers account for their work — and reducing the burden of doing so.

Evaluating data management plans: how funders and institutions review DMPs
Requiring a data management plan is easy; reviewing one well is hard. As DMPs become standard, attention is turning to how they are actually evaluated — the rubrics, review criteria and feedback loops that decide whether a plan is a meaningful commitment or a box ticked.
