Definitely a research facility. While mainly located at UWA it has staff and some equipment elsewhere, so it's not really solely a child organization of that university. Since it's very new we might want to wait on this one a little? But otherwise I think it should have a ROR id.

I concur with Arthur, this organization should be added to ROR. Although new, it is associated with established universities and funded by the Australian Research Council. I think it would be ok to add now but moving to needs discussion to determine if request should be put on hold.

Spoke with ARDC on our community call and they need this added in order to begin research and funding acknowledgements. Falls within the scope of previous curation discussion about trusted groups providing verified requests for new organizations.
