Explore the new Research Data Australia Grants and Projects portal https://researchdata.ands.org.au/grants
Research Data Australia aggregates: 
1. research grant information supplied by multiple funders  - currently ARC and NHMRC
2. research project information supplied by some of our data contributors.  

This webinar will cover a number of case studies and uses, and conclude with Q&A.
-- Overview - what is does (and doesn’t) include, examples of records and connections between grants and their outputs (data & publications).  Monica Omodei (ANDS)

-- Case study: Griffith University’s use of the API  to pull in grant records from RDA for Griffith researchers to cover the period where the researchers were not at Griffith. Jan Hettenhausen

-- Trove National Library of Australia - services efforts to assist the research community to bring together the work of a researcher over their lifetime.  Julia Hickie
