<award-id> Award Identifier

Unique identifier assigned to an award, contract, or grant.

Usage/Remarks

Note that this is a real-world external identifier, not an XML ID.
External Identifier
The <award-id> element holds an external identifier, assigned to a contract, grant, stipend, or other award by the awarding agency. The contents of this element should not be confused with the @id attribute, which holds an internal document identifier that can be used by software to perform a simple link inside the document.

Actionable Identifiers

Some JATS guidelines, including JATS4R, would like to treat the <award-id> as a short API-actionable unique identifier. Examples of such identifiers (taken from PubMed Central) include:
  • <award-id>U1605212</award-id>
  • <award-id>173346</award-id>
  • <award-id>340-14</award-id>
  • <award-id>340-14</award-id>
  • <award-id>HR0011-16-C-0028</award-id>
  • <award-id>AGL2015-68463-C2-2-P</award-id>
  • <award-id>107-2320-B-019-001-MY2</award-id>
  • <award-id>2013K1A4A3055268</award-id>
Note that these are numeric and alphanumeric examples that do not include textual phrases. Text describing an award is likely to be an award name (<award-name>Allen Distinguished Investigator Award</award-name>) or an award description (<award-desc>operating grant</award-desc>).
To keep award identifiers succinct and actionable, it may be necessary to break a long award identifier into name and description parts, for example:
      <award-id>Marie Curie Career Integration Grant PCIG11-GA-2012-322339</award-id>
would become:
      <award-id>PCIG11-GA-2012-322339</award-id>
      <award-name>Marie Curie Career Integration Grant</award-name>
Related Elements
Identifying grants and awards: There are (at least) three independent concepts at work in the description of a grant or an award:
  • <award-id> — An award or grant identifier. Preferably a short, machine-actionable string (such as <award-id>U1605212</award-id> or <award-id>P30DK020572<award-id>).
  • <award-name> — The natural language name of the award or grant, that is typically a phrase such as <award-name>Marie Curie Career Integration Grant</award-name> or <award-name>Schleswig-Holstein Excellence Chair</award-name>)
  • <award-desc> — An award description holds textual material concerning an award or grant that does not fit in one of the two elements above, for example, the word “Fellowship”, “German Egyptian research long-term scholarship”, or the name of an institution or program that is not a funding source.
The award IDs, award names, and award descriptions are all connected by being in the same <award-group>.
