ÜberResearch Launches Funding Wizard for ORCID - Digital Science

"Today, ÜberResearch announces the launch of their free funding wizard for ORCID, under the name ÜberWizard. The wizard allows ORCID users to import and associate their funding data with their ORCID record, through a simple search--click--submit process. The ÜberWizard includes more than 1.2 million grants from 60 of the top US and European funding bodies representing more than $600bn of historical research funding. The launch of ÜberWizard comes the same week as ORCID expands their interface to include funding information. 'We want to make adding funding inform ation into ORCID as easy as possible,' said Christian Herzog, CEO of ÜberResearch. 'ORCID users will now have an easy-to-use interface that integrates and standardizes data from more than 60 of the largest US and European funders, and we are adding new funders each month.'   Beyond the current system, ÜberResearch is offering to help other grant funders include their data in the ÜberWizard. 'We believe this will be easier for funders, easier for users, and beneficial for both. Researchers can add all their grants in one step – saving time, making adoption easier and more likely,' Herzog added ..."
