Upgrade Storagegrants in zotero
In addition to publications and meeting abstracts/presentations, we want to have grants in our zotero library. We want capture 6 fields for each grant. Below are the fields, populated with hypothetical information.
PI: Smith, JS
Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease
Grant number: R01-AR123456
Funding Body: National Eye Institute
Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24
Annual direct funds: $125,000
It would be preferable to have the "create bibliography" output be in the format above. Initial attempts with item type patent and item type report were not encouraging. I looked at previous forum strings on this topic but other than one statement about using item type report, there were no obvious solutions.

If I enter the example grant information into the "extra" field of "item type - report" and put each of my fields on its own line in the text box, then do "create report from item", the result is below

If I enter the all of the example grant information into the "title" field of "item type-report", and then do create bibliography from item, and use citation style "National Library of Medicine (grant proposals with PMCID/PMID), I get the following output
PI: Smith, JS Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease Grant number: R01-AR123456 Funding Body: National Eye Institute Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24 Annual direct funds: $125,000.
Although this is closer to what I want as an output, the field columns in the main window are not populated for "creator" and "date". Note that even if "date" was populated, the relevant field in my example grant information is a date range, not a single date.
However, for grants, I would like the printed output to be exactly as below:
PI: Smith, JS
Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease
Grant number: R01-AR123456
Funding Body: National Eye Institute
Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24
Annual direct funds: $125,000
Since there is no PCMID/PMID number associated with the above information, I don't need to use the citation style I mentioned above. I would use whatever citation style is available that could generate this output.
As I indicated above, if I put this example grant information into a single field ("title") of the "report" item type, and I create a bibliography from this item using the citation style "National Library of Medicine (grant proposals with PMCID/PMID)", I get the following bibliography
PI: Smith, JS Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease Grant number: R01-AR123456 Funding Body: National Eye Institute Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24 Annual direct funds: $125,000.
I could just use "return" at the appropriate locations to generate the result I want:
PI: Smith, JS
Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease
Grant number: R01-AR123456
Funding Body: National Eye Institute
Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24
Annual direct funds: $125,000
I have not tried any other citation styles.
However, the problem with entering all of the information into the "title" field is that "creator" (as well as other columns of interest, such as date) does not show up in the columns of the main display window of zotero. In this case it would not be easy sort the citations by creator (or year)
PI: Smith, JS
Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease
Grant number: R01-AR123456
Funding Body: National Eye Institute
Beginning and end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24
Annual direct funds: $125,000
The desired format for the bibliography is:
PI: Smith, JS.
Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease.
Grant number: R01-AR123456.
Funding Body: National Eye Institute.
Start-end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24.
Annual direct funds: $125,000.
It is important to note that grants bibliography is not a combined bibliography with citations for publications (such as journal articles).
To enter the information into zotero, I use FIle, New Item, Report. In the title field, enter:
PI: Smith, JS.Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye disease.Grant number: R01-AR123456.Funding Body: National Eye Institute.Start-end dates: 04/20/19 - 06/30/24.Annual direct funds: $125,000.
In the Extra field, enter:
19/04/20-24/06/30.
and then have the field Extra as a column in the main window of Zotero. This allows for sorting on the Start date of the grant.
Immediately to the right of the item type icon in the main window of zotero, will be:
PI: Smith, JS.Grant title: The role of tear film lipids in dry eye.........
This makes it easy to visualize, as well as sort, on the name of the PI.
Generate bibliography from the item, using style Journal of Investigative Dermatology, and save as RTF. Open the RTF in an ms word doc. Do Advanced Find and Replace All with:
Find: .
Replace with: .manual line break
This results in a line break after each period in the document, and generates the desired format for the bibliography.
