The Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) is an international, non-profit "membership initiative led by research institutions and their partners," based in Fairfax, Virginia, United States.[1] It operates as a corporation and is overseen by a central Board of Directors and national Steering Committees in each country with a national chapter.
The CASRAI mission is to adapt the principles and best practices of open standards and data governance to lead and facilitate key stakeholders in annual deliberations to develop 'standard information agreements' that serve as bridges between research information users. CASRAI agreements cover all the key information requirements relating to the management of research throughout its lifecycle, including applications for funds, CVs, project and funds management, compliance requirements, reporting, as well as research data management and scholarly communications. The CASRAI vision is for all stakeholders (institutions, funders, publishers, and software providers) to adopt the resulting 'invisible infrastructure' in their local software and processes, enabling stable, predictable, and comparable results when sharing research information throughout the lifecycle. This vision is also expressed in the CASRAI in Two Minutes video.[2]
