[go] NAR database issue update

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

The additional contributions in terms of Ontology development and 
ontology annotations were made by the XYZ grants funded to 
Source-databases-so-and-so by the abc-funding agency.

This will help many of us to list our contributions and the funding.
