Align Funder table with Research Organization Registry (ROR)

[only1chunts]

User story

As a admin user
I want to know that our funder organisation list if upto date
So that I our users have the most upto date list to chose from

Acceptance criteria

Given a user wants to include some funding information
When they come to enter the Funder name
Then they are presented with a upto date list of option from Research Organization Registry (ROR)

Given a user wants to include some funding information
When they come to enter the Funder name
And the funder they want to add is not present
Then they are able to include a free text option
And they must complete the other mandatory information about that funding body; Organisation type, Other names/Alias, Location, Website/URL and (optional) any other known identifiers , e.g. ISNI, GRID or Wikidata.
Those details should then be used to request the addition of that institute to ROR, they have a manual form to do that here but they probably have a programatic method using their API too.

Additional Info

Our original list of funders was taken from FundRef (a long time ago!) but since 2024 FundRef has been merged into ROR, there is an announcment article here.
