Description

The Global Research Identifiers Database previously assigned unique identifiers to research institutions. It has been deprecated in favour of https://org-id.guide/list/XI-ROR and should no longer be used.

It recorded information on the nature of the research organisation, covering companies, education establishments, healthcare, non-profits, government and other entity types.

GRID also recorded parent-child relationships between entities, related relationships and cross-linkages to a range of other identifier sources.
