This guide is intended as an aid to completing the supplementary data sheet for consortia of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). To this end, chapter 1 provides explanatory comments and indicates the relations to similar or related IDs. Chapter 2 comprises a glossary that references definitions of terminology relevant to the data sheet, while chapter 3 lists the corresponding references.
Note: Many of the comments listed in this guide are also included in the data sheet itself as Excel comments.
Unless specified otherwise, the IDs in the data sheet refer to the reporting period from the submission of the last data sheet or - if this is the first submission of a data sheet - the start of funding of the consortium up to the current submission.
