More info on the major funding mechanisms can be found on the Web and in a massive PDF file on activity codes & definitions. S - research-related programs (equipment etc.)

P - program project and research center grants Activity codes are grouped together to form funding mechanisms. Type 9 - Change of institute - continues support for grant transferred from one institute to another.Īctivity code is the 3-digit identifier of an award type, e.g., R01 is a research project grant. Type 8 - Change of NIH institute - transfers a grant from one institute to another. Type 7 - Change of grantee - transfers a grant from one institution to another. Type 6 - Change of grantee - transfers a grant when one organization buys out another, also called successor of interest.

For contracts, the suffix is replaced by a modification number.Īpplication type is the first digit on an application identification number:
Uic ithenticate instructions serial number#
Number on a grant application identifying application type (e.g., new is type 1), activity code (e.g., research project grant is R01 ), organization to which it is assigned (e.g., NIAID is AI), serial number assigned by the Center for Scientific Review, suffix year showing the support year (budget period) for a grant, amendment (if resubmitted), and other information, e.g., administrative supplement, fellowship institutional allowance. I’ve been asked this a lot lately, so without further ado …Īpplication type – Activity code – Institute – Serial no.
