We also need to capture that grant beneficiaries are not always the investigators, and that investigator roles can change over time. Changes: New: Add ‘group’ option: We need to capture beneficiaries that are organizations, not people. The group will be modeled like investigators but will support a ROR ID instead of an ORCID ID Breaking change: Make role into a repeatable element with start and end dates: roles change over time, and an individual may have multiple roles. New: Add ‘beneficiary’ as a role: some grants are given to beneficiaries (often institutions) and not individuals Breaking change: Change the container ‘investigator’ element to ‘recipients’: we currently have an ‘investigators’ section in our input XML, since this is expanding to include beneficiaries and potentially other roles, we should change the container tag to reduce future confusion. (note: this is just a container tag and isn’t included in metadata outputs so we could keep it as-is, but the role changes will require reworking of XML outputs for those wishing to adopt the updated schema anyway, so it’s a good time to do it.) Update: reinstate requirement that a person OR group recipient be included in the metadata. We had relaxed the ‘investigators’ requirement temporarily to accommodate members who need to register grants with institution What this will look like: Minerva Reuland Minnie Cat
