[peetucket]

looks correct, but bigger list than I was expecting, but not intractable for UI purposes...

had to look this one up based on its interesting name: http://web.stanford.edu/group/brainsinsilicon/

There are at least 134 centers/institutes in the org data, many of which are children of either:

1. the Inter-Departmental Programs org under the School of Humanities and Sciences; or
2. the Independent Labs, Institutes, and Centers (Dean of Research) org

[mjgiarlo]

Some researcher profiles do contain affiliations to research institutes. See the following snippet:

{
  "organizations": [
    {
      "label": {
        "html": "<a href='http://biox.stanford.edu/'>Bio-X</a>",
        "text": "Bio-X"
      },
      "affiliation": "capFaculty",
      "type": "affiliation",
      "organization": {
        "label": {
          "html": "<a href='http://biox.stanford.edu/'>Bio-X</a>",
          "text": "Bio-X"
        },
        "orgUrl": "http://biox.stanford.edu/",
        "interDepartmentalProgram": false,
        "orgCode": "BIOX",
        "org": "Bio-X"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Note that interDepartmentalProgram is true for some of these institutes and false for others, so this is not a reliable way to determine whether an org is an institute or not.

@peetucket It escapes me how we were going to use this information. In other words, not sure what I need to do to close this issue. Do you recall?

[mjgiarlo]

Closing for now. Pls advise!

[peetucket]

I think the idea was that this could be one way to connect a researcher (from the people API) to an organization (from the org API) if there wasn't an org code that be used for this purpose - but then I think @justinlittman found that org codes could be used (here #89)

OK, thanks, @peetucket
