Organisation Name

The name and general location of the organisation.

Where possible, users should follow this structure: Full organisation name (short name). Sometimes the full name requires two parts, e.g. both the department and the name of a university or research institute.

Here are some examples:

• European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)

• Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

• National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC)

• National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH)

• Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative, University of Virginia

Please use the English version of the name where possible. Alternative names can be added by users in the near future. In the meantime, if you have an alternative name you wish to add, please just get in touch with our curation team.
