Across the research community, there is growing recognition of the importance of open funding information. This momentum is reflected in the recent call to action from the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information to improve open funding metadata – see DataCite’s response on advancing open funding metadata with community infrastructure. As a community-driven open infrastructure, DataCite already supports organizations in creating and sharing funding metadata. Two such use case examples were featured at the second DataCite Open Hours session of 2026. We heard from the new DataCite Member, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, and from Dryad about its work through the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI). The session covered DataCite tools and services to share and track funding and highlighted new and upcoming developments.
