Search official ROR research-organization metadata by name, resolve an exact ROR ID, or match an affiliation using ROR's own chosen flags and scores. Returns bounded institution names, identifiers, GeoNames locations, relationships, source hashes and CC0 attribution without issuing an identity verdict.

Pay $0.003 USDC and run in your browserCoinbase Agentic Wallet can satisfy this x402 request in one command. Running it may pay automatically, so --max-amount is fixed to $0.003 USDC in atomic units. Copying the command does not install, authenticate, sign, or pay; review the request and use a separate low-value wallet before running it.

}These buyer-controlled recipes connect this service to compatible API Acre results. Every step has its own exact price and requires separate authorization.
Review official ROR institution candidates, then search NIH RePORTER awards using a caller-confirmed organization name, topic and fiscal year. The two registries provide separate evidence and are not automatically linked.
