Sponsored Programs - Grant Code Conventions

This document provides an overview of grant code conventions used for sponsored projects.

The grant code convention for sponsored projects is a five-position, alphanumeric code that always begins with the character designated in the table below. This convention has been developed for reporting and identification purposes and for efficiency in assigning grant codes.

Index Code Convention

For grants and contracts purposes, the only parts of the FOAPAL string that are used are the Fund, Organization and Program elements. Account codes in research accounting are handled manually, so the Account element part of the FOAPAL is not represented in the index code. Sponsored project index codes begin with the five-digit grant code. The sixth position is alphanumeric and sequentially represents the number of index codes created for each grant code.
