The registry of research awards and prizes is part of a larger effort of the Commission of Research Information in Germany (KFiD) to facilitate institutional research information management. The KFiD is an expert body which brings together the most relevant actors of the German science system. One of KFiD’s instruments is the KDSF Standard for Research Information. It aims at harmonizing the collection and reporting of research information in Germany. It does so by proposing a set of definitions and rules for diverse domains, such as, projects, employment, publications, and in future, research prizes and awards. The KDSF recommends the use of PIDs for the collection and reporting of research information.
