Subject: CORPORATE CONTRACT AND GRANT INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The enclosed Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements document dated March 2001, is hereby officially
issued via a formal Contract and Grant Memo. Earlier versions were informally issued. The Enclosed contains all
previous changes and revisions and is current and complete.
The March 2001 Revision includes two new project type fields: one for Clinical Trial Research (Project Type
A), and one for Material Transfers (Project Type B). These fields bcame effective for Quarter 3 of fiscal year
2000. Edit reports also include edits for the clinical trial and material transfer agreement project types. (See
Table 1, Summary of Data Element Edits). The 2001 Revision also includes reference to Assembly Concurrent Resolution
No. 45 which requires that the University disclose to the public upon request the conditions attached to significant
contracts, grants, and other instruments of sponsorship. The CGX is the means of fulfilling this requirement.
Additional changes previously incorporated include:
- Reporting Special State Appropriations for Research. The section "What Transactions are To Be Reported"
includes projects supported under special State appropriations for research administered by the University, such
as MICRO and AIDS research.
- Reporting Matching Funds. The section "What Data is Submitted, Data Element Definitions" defines
reporting requirements for matching funds to include all State 19900 matching funds. Matching funds
are reported on a cumulative total basis. Voluntary cost sharing not required by the award terms is not reported.
- Use of Miscellaneous Sponsor Code 9850. The section "Assignment and Use of Sponsor Codes"
limits the use of miscellaneous sponsor code 9850 to PROPOSALS to miscellaneous PRIVATE sponsors ONLY. A Sponsor
Code Assignment request form is used to request sponsor codes.
- The Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements will be available electronically at http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/cgmemos/01-04.html.

Enclosure 1. Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 45 June 28, 1979
I PURPOSE
The University of California, Office of the President (OP), Research Administration Office (RAO) within the Office
of Senior Vice President -- Business and Finance is responsible for administering the Corporate Contract and Grant
Information System (CGX).
The CGX was created to meet information needs of OP management, and to fulfilling Assembly Concurrent Resolution
No. 45. ACR 45 requires the University to disclose to the public upon request, the conditions attached to significant
contracts, grants, and other instruments of sponsorship. The RAO serves as a central contact point to the public
for this purpose. See Enclosure 1, ACR 45.
The Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements define the required corporate contract and grant information
needs and identify the interface between the campus contract and grant office and the Corporate Contract and Grant
System. The purpose is not to specify an information system or provide corporate forms for campus use. Each location
may design its own reporting system and forms as long as the local system produces the information in the format
required by the corporate system.
II WHO MUST PROVIDE DATA
Data is submitted from all campuses, major DOE laboratories, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Office of the
President offices as follows:
Campuses Laboratories
Berkeley Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
San Francisco Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Davis Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Angeles Other
Riverside Agriculture and Natural Resources (A&NR)
San Diego Office of the President Offices (OP)
Santa Barbara
Santa Cruz
Irvine
Merced
III WHAT TRANSACTIONS ARE REPORTED
A. Initial Proposal and Award Transactions
1. Reportable transactions for Office of the President and campus locations must meet all of the following criteria.
a. The transaction is a proposal or application, or a contract, grant or cooperative agreement award:
i. Excluding gifts;
ii. Excluding master contracts or basic agreements which themselves do not provide funds or require performance;
iii. Excluding 19900-funded activities.
b. The transaction is with a sponsor external to the campus:
i. Including governmental and private sponsors;
ii. Including proposals to and awards from DOE
Laboratories;
iii. Including proposals and awards under
special State appropriations for research that are administered by the University;
iv. Including subawards issued by another U.C. campus or A&NR under their prime award. See data definition
of Sponsor Code for guidance in reporting subawards.
C. The transaction is for one of the purposes specified under the Project Type Code definition and
i. Excluding awards made to The Regents that are administered directly by campus Student Aid Offices for the following
purposes: National Direct Student Loan Program, College Work Study, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
Basic Educational Opportunity Grants;
ii. Excluding Federal construction grants that are subject to the policies and procedures set forth in the University
Facilities Manual Section E-1.7.
B. Changes and Corrections to Data Previously Reported
1. Awards
Award information is maintained in the CGX system for five years after the award expires. All changes and corrections
to awards previously submitted and which are still active (the award period has not ended) or have terminated within
the last five years are reportable.
Data fields provided to the Corporate Contract and Grant System via campus automated systems or via forms (DOE
laboratories and OP) will contain the latest information at the time the transaction is processed by the contract
and grant office in all fields except in the Award Amount field. The Award Amount field will contain the positive
or negative amount of change. This is the amount by which the previously reported amount must be adjusted in order
to result in the latest correct total amount.
Award numbers must be "unique and non-varying over time". Once an award is reported under an award number,
all future transactions must use the exact same award number, including the same spacing and punctuation marks.
The practice of adding to the award number when reporting subsequent transactions under the same award, such as
"Mod 1" or "Sup 1" or "/02" must not be done.
2. Proposals
Proposal information is maintained in the CGX system for one fiscal year after the proposal is reported. The CGX
system is not intended to reflect the exact status of each proposal. Changes and corrections that occur within
the same reporting quarter as the initial proposal transactions are reportable in the CGX system. Changes to proposal
data beyond a reporting quarter need not be reported; instead a new proposal transaction may be reported. Corrections
to proposal data may be submitted up until one year after the proposal has been reported. This should be done particularly
if large dollar errors have been made.
Data fields transmitted to the Corporate Contract and Grant System via automated systems or via forms will contain
the latest information in all fields except in the Project Cost -- Proposed field. The Project Cost -- Proposed
field will contain the positive or negative amount of change. This is the amount by which the previously recorded
amount must be adjusted in order to result in the latest correct total amount.
3. Expired Awards
Expired awards are retained in the Corporate System for five years before they are purged. If within the five year
period a transaction occurs that changes the period of performance so as to make the award active, the transaction
routinely should be entered as described in paragraph III.B.1. "Resubmission of expired award", is no
longer a valid award action and will result in a rejected record during the edit process. All award actions must
be either "new" or "continuation". "Continuation" is used for awards that have expired
within the last five years and are being reactivated.
IV WHAT DATA IS SUBMITTED
A. Overview of Data Elements
The CGX system contains two types of data: data submitted from the campus, Laboratory or systemwide location and
data generated by the CGX system by accessing other corporate systems. For instance, the account number is submitted
by the local Contracts and Grants Office reporting system; the CGX corporate system then accesses the Corporate
Account Fund Profile portion of the corporate accounting system and, matching the location and account number,
generates the data elements account name, organizational unit name, academic discipline, and functional classification.
Similarly, only the fund number data element is submitted by the local system to the Office of the President. The
corporate CGX system then accesses the Corporate Account Fund Profile and, matching location and fund number, derives
the data elements method of payment and on/off campus location. As a result of using data elements submitted by
the campus/OP location and then linking to other systems to generate additional data, there is more information
provided in CGX Reports than is submitted during the quarterly input process.
For a complete list of the data elements available for reporting in the CGX system, including those elements derived
by linking to other corporate reporting systems, contact the Office of the President Research Administration Office.

C. DATA ELEMENT DEFINITIONS
This section describes award and proposal data elements originated by the campus, DOE Laboratory or OP location
and required to meet corporate needs. The code values identified herein are those utilized by the CGX corporate
system. Campus systems may use different code values.
ACCOUNT NUMBER Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
The number code taken from the campus list of accounts which identifies the actual expenditure account where costs
under the project are charged.
For new projects in which no account number has been assigned by the Accounting Office, it is necessary to ascertain
and enter one of the responsible department's standard account numbers.
The use of the Account Number in the CGX System is to identify the department or ORU name, by reference to the
campus list of account numbers, and to identify the academic discipline.
If an Account Number not in the campus list of accounts is used, this will result in the contract, grant or cooperative
agreement being disassociated from the appropriate department.
AWARD ACTION CODE-CGX Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
This field indicates if the award is new or a continuation of a previous award.
Corporate Code
1 New - there was no prior award.
2 Continuation - all actions other than New, including renewals. Continuations include actions where additional
funds are being provided to continue a project, e.g-, budget period or equivalent, incremental funding amounts,
the beginning of a project period where there has been a previous project period, no cost time extension, etc.
AWARD AMOUNT Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
The total dollars awarded are reported including indirect costs but not cost sharing or "University Participation".
The total dollars awarded means the amount actually authorized by the grant award or, in the case of a contract,
the total estimated cost authorized for the period of performance. In the case of an equipment grant, the value
of the equipment may be reported.
The first time the award is reported, the Award Amount will be the amount actually awarded. On subsequent reporting,
report only the amount of change, if any, (positive or negative). This is the amount by which the previously reported
amount must be adjusted in order to result in the latest correct total amount.
AWARD FORM PREPARATION DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date on which the award form data document is prepared by the contract and grant office. If multiple award actions
occur within a quarter for a given award, these actions should not be summarized into one transaction. To be processed
correctly, multiple actions for a given award must have non-duplicating Award Form Preparation Dates in chronological
sequence.
AWARD NUMBER Field Length/Type: 30 alphanumeric
The unique identifying number assigned by the sponsoring agency (or by the campus contract and grant office in
the absence of a sponsor assigned award number) to the contract, grant, or cooperative agreement award document.
Only numbers assigned to project agreements, task orders, or individual awards (which may incorporate the Basic
Agreement or Master Contract Number) made pursuant to Basic Agreements or Master Contract may be used.
If the sponsor has assigned no award number, it is essential that the Contract and Grant Office systematically
assign a number to an awarded contract, grant, or cooperative agreement. Any system is satisfactory as long as
the number is unique within the first 30 characters and non-varying over time.
Each award must have a unique award number. Projects with multiple sponsors must use unique award numbers for each
sponsor. This is because the transaction will replace (overlay) data for another sponsor when the award number
is the same.
The award number is used by the Corporate System to uniquely identify the award. Therefore, the number must be
unique to one award only and must not change. If for any reason the award number changes, then the original or
"parent" award number (without modification or identifiers) must be used when reporting to the Corporate
System. The award number must not be modified, such as "Mod 1" or "Sup 1" or "/02",
and it must have the exact same spacing and punctuation marks.
AWARD PERIOD START DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date that a new, renewal, or supplemental agreement award becomes effective. The term effective for reporting purposes
means the calendar date recognized by the award as the beginning for performance and incidence of costs. Note that
the award period start date may be a date preceding the date the award is either fully executed or received by
the University. If there is no known start date as in the case of some private grants, the start date should be
the date the private grant is received by the campus Contract and Grant Office. All awards must have a specified
start date. The following example illustrates what is reportable as the Award Period Start Date for renewals:
Year 1: 7/1/79 to 6/30/80 report Start date of 7/1/79 and End
date of 6/30/80
Year 2: 7/1/80 to 6/30/81 report Start date of 7/1/80 and End
date of 6/30/81
Year 3: 7/1/81 to 6/30/82 report Start date of 7/1/81 and End
date of 6/30/82
AWARD PERIOD END DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date the award ends. In the case of multi-year grants (e.g., PHS), enter the end date of the current budget period.
If the entire project period is fully funded, then enter the end date of the project period. The project period
for grants is for administrative planning purposes only and imposes no legal obligation by the Government to require
performance or provide funding beyond the current budget period, and provides no legal rights to the grantee beyond
the current budget period.
In the case of multi-year contracts the award end date depends on how the contract is written. When the contract
requires performance and provides funding for only one of a series of years, the end date should be the end of
that current "budget" period. When the contract requires performance for the entire multi-year "project"
period and provides either full or incremental funding, the end date should be the end of the multi-year "project"
period. The multi-year period in contracts is a contractually recognized period of time during which the Government
is required to obtain contractor performance and is obligated to continue to fund the contract except in the event
of a formal termination for convenience. For reporting purposes therefore, the end date of the award for a multi-year
contract is the performance completion date, not the time period associated with incremental funding amounts.
In the case of a private grant or other type of award that does not specify a known end date, then arbitrarily
assign a definite end date, e.g., one year after the private grant is received by the contracts and grants office.
The Award Amount should be the amount awarded (total estimated cost or fixed price) through the Award Period End
Date.
CONTRACT/GRANT CODE Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
All award and proposal transactions, including project agreements, task orders or individual awards issued pursuant
to a Basic Agreement or Master Contract, must indicate whether they are for a contract, grant or cooperative agreement.
If an award instrument is not identified by the sponsor as a grant or cooperative agreement, it may be identified
as a contract.
Corporate Code
K - Contract
G - Grant
A - Cooperative Agreement
FUND NUMBER Field Length/Type: 5 alphanumeric
A number assigned by the Accounting Office that identifies a specific source of funds. The fund number is uniquely
associated with the funds received for a particular award during each fiscal year or entire period that a contract,
grant or cooperative agreement is operative. Its primary function is the positive identification of the contract
and grant in the University's ledgers and is a cross- reference to the General Ledger accounts produced by the
Accounting System. Further, it is used by the CGX system to link to the Corporate Account Fund Profile and determine
the on- or off-campus location of the project and the method of payment. If no fund number will be assigned because
the award is an equipment grant, use fund number 00000.
INDIRECT COST - APPLICABLE RATE Field Length/Type: 4 numeric
Rate (calculated as the percentage figure) awarded to recover the University's indirect costs under grants, contracts,
and cooperative agreements. The CGX data element for indirect costs is 4 spaces: 3 before the decimal point and
1 after. All four spaces must be filled. The following are examples:
Indirect Cost Rate CGX Report
43.8% 0438
8% 0080
0% 0000
100% 1000
MATCHING FUNDS Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
The amount of State funds, if any, pledged as matching funds in awards. Matching funds are reported to the Office
of the President as the current cumulative total amount of matching funds, not the amount of increase or decrease.
This is in contrast to reporting changes in the "Award Amount".
There is no ultimate difference between matching and cost sharing, rather the difference is categorically made
by the sponsor and in the absence of a categorical assertion by the sponsor then is a matter of degree. For reporting
purposes, matching funds means a University contribution of 19900 funds (in cash, or in-kind values that are funded
by 19900 funds). Matching excludes cost sharing which is voluntary and not legally obligated to be performed or
is provided under institutional cost sharing agreements.
NAME - CO-PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Field Length/Type: 35 alphanumeric
The name, if any, of the investigator who is working with the Principal Investigator on the sponsored project.
The full name may be reported in the format: last name (comma) first name (space) middle name(s) (comma) suffix.
However, only the first 20 letters of the last name and initial of the first name are required. If there is more
than one Co-Principal Investigator, select only one for reporting.
NAME - PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Field Length/Type: 35 alphanumeric
The full name of the principal investigator may be reported in the format: last name (comma) first name (space)
middle name(s) (comma) suffix. However, only the first 20 letters of the last name and initial of the first name
are required.
PROJECT NAME Field Length/Type: 135 alphanumeric
The complete descriptive title of the project. The title should not contain acronyms and should clearly convey
the activity for which funding has been received.
PROJECT TYPE CODE Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
Identifies the award or proposal by purpose. The project type is reported for the total award, not for the individual
transaction. For instance, if a modification to a basic research project is made to authorize equipment purchase,
the project type remains basic research. All awards and proposals must be identified by one of the following:
Project Type Code
1 - Basic Research
2 - Applied Research
3 - Developmental Research
A - Clinical Trial Research
4 - Other Research
5 - Training
6 - Public Service
7 - Other Service
8 - Equipment
B - Material Transfer
9 - Other
Project Type Code Definitions:
1. Basic Research - research that is directed toward increase of knowledge in science wherein the primary aim of
the investigator is a fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject under study, rather than a clear or direct
practical application thereof. This includes analytical and experimental activities that primarily seek to increase
the understanding of fundamental phenomena. The end product is usually a report, although experimental hardware
may be involved. In basic research, the particular use of the knowledge is not foreseen or identified at the beginning
of the effort.
2. Applied Research - consists of the effort that: (1) normally follows basic research, but may not be severable
from the related basic research; (2) attempts to determine and expand the potentialities of new scientific discoveries
or improvements in technology, materials, processes, methods, devices, and techniques; and (3) attempts to "advance
the state of the art". Applied research involves the study of phenomena relating to specific, known needs
in connection with the functional characteristics of a system. Applied research does not include any efforts when
their principal aim is the design, development, or test of specific articles or services to be offered for sale,
which are within the definition of the term development.
3. Developmental Research - the systematic use and practical application of investigative findings and theories
of a scientific or technical nature toward the production of, or improvements in, useful products to meet specific
performance requirements but exclusive of manufacturing and production engineering. The dominant characteristic
is that the effort be pointed toward specific problem areas to develop and evaluate the feasibility and practicability
of proposed solutions and determine their parameters. Development includes studies, investigations, initial hardware
development and ultimately development of hardware, systems, or other means for experimental or operational test.
A. Clinical Trial Research - the controlled clinical testing of investigational new drugs, devices, treatments,
or diagnostics, or comparisons of approved drugs, devices, treatments, or diagnostics, to assess their safety,
efficacy, benefits, costs, adverse reactions, and/or outcomes, if any, in human subjects. Such studies may be conducted
under either a sponsor-developed or an investigator-developed protocol. These studies are conducted in conjunction
with obtaining new drug or device approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, under Phase I, II, III,
or IV. Pre-clinical laboratory studies or studies in animals are not included under the term clinical trial research
and neither are projects designed to develop new compounds, as well as test them; such projects are reported in
one of the other research categories.
4. Other Research - is to be used only if a research project cannot be classified as basic, applied, developmental,
or clinical trial research.
5. Training (benefiting the University) - for the purposes of reporting to Office of the President, this category
means the conduct of scholarly, professional, occupational instruction for matriculated students or University
employees in forms such as classes, seminars, workshops, conferences, etc. This category includes sponsorship of
students or employees who are "in training" primarily but not exclusively at the graduate and postgraduate
levels. The scope of this code also includes sponsored training awards made to The Regents which provide for selection
of student recipients by academic departments, and the institutional support which is either included in the training
grant or is applied for and awarded separately. Excluded from this group and from this contract and grant information
requirement are fellowships or other similar awards made directly from sponsors to students, and Student Aid programs
identified in III.A.l.c.
Awards and proposals which require both the development of training materials and the conduct of training as part
of the same award should be identified as Training, (Category 5).
Awards and proposals which are primarily for development of training materials and curricula should be identified
as Developmental Research, (Category 3).
Training projects which are intended for the training to be conducted by the University for presentation to and
for primary benefit to the public, i.e., individuals or groups external to the University, should be identified
as Public Service, (Category 6).
6. Public Service - as the term is interpreted in the context of sponsored projects means externally sponsored
projects where the sponsor, particularly the Federal and state Government, desire to have the University provide
the benefits of scholarly or professional training or services to individuals or sponsor designated recipient groups
which are external to the University. Examples of public service may include some programs such as those sponsored
by the Agency for International Development, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Institutes
of Health in the area of biomedical services or training. The principal characteristic of public service is that
individuals and groups external to the University are the intended beneficiaries.
7. Other Service - includes services which the University provides or makes available which do not fit within the
categories of training or public service, such as the use of University facilities as provided by Regulation 4.
8. Equipment - applications or awards which are restricted by the sponsor for the sole purpose of the University's
procurement of equipment. This may include direct grants of equipment, or full or partial funding to enable the
University to purchase equipment, where in both cases the sponsor intends to transfer or have title to the equipment
vest in the University.
B. Material Transfer - used for agreements whose sole purpose is to govern the transfer of materials to the University
from the provider wherein the provider restricts the use of the material to a designated research project. Such
agreements often include rights granted back to the provider. Materials may include, but are not limited to, cultures,
cell lines, plasmids, nucleotides, proteins, bacteria, transgenic animals, pharmaceuticals, devices, models, reagents
or other chemicals. When terms pertaining to the transfer of materials are integrated into an agreement that provides
for both the funding of research and the transfer of materials, use the project type appropriate for the financial
transaction (e.g. basic research).
9. Other - to be used only if a project can not be classified by one of the above categories.
PROPOSAL IDENTIFYING NUMBER Field Length/Type: 10 alphanumeric
An identifying number assigned by the campus contract and grant office. Most campuses have formulated a system
which allows the proposal number to convey information concerning the fiscal year in which the proposal is made
and in some cases to indicate whether the proposal is a revision or a multiple solicitation. Numbers assigned by
sponsors to their requests for proposals, invitations for bids, or other solicitation methods, etc. are not to
be used.
PROJECT COST - PROPOSED Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
Enter the anticipated project cost including indirect costs. The first time the proposal is reported, the Proposed
Project Cost will be the total anticipated project cost. When reporting subsequent revisions to the proposed project
cost (required in the original reporting quarter only), only the amount of change (positive or negative) will be
reported.
PROJECT DURATION - PROPOSED Field Length/Type: 3 alphanumeric
The number of months proposed as the performance period.
SPONSOR CODE Field Length/Type: 4 alphanumeric
All contract and grant activity must be reported using sponsor codes that identify the organization sponsoring
the project. Sponsor codes are provided on the Sponsor Code Table maintained and updated quarterly by the Office
of the President Research Administration Office. The Sponsor Code Table is organized in three parts: Federal, State,
and All Other. University of California campuses and special research programs are listed under All Other, UC (name
of campus or program). Agricultural Marketing Order Boards are listed under All Other, CALIF (name of Marketing
Order Board).
SPONSOR NAME - NONFEDERAL/NONSTATE Field Length/Type: 90 alphanumeric
The name of the "Nonfederal or Nonstate" sponsor. This information is required only if there is no sponsor
code provided in the Sponsor Code Table and the Miscellaneous Sponsor Code 9850 has been used in reporting a proposal.
The Miscellaneous Sponsor Code 9850 is not allowed in the awards file.
TRANSACTION REFERENCE NUMBER Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
The Transaction Reference Number is assigned at the option of the campus and is not required. It is a number derived
from a source document or generated by the system which uniquely identifies a transaction on a campus input file.
It is printed on edit reports when invalid data is encountered to facilitate identifying the unique source document
or system generated transaction causing the error.
UC LOCATION CODE - CGX Field Length/Type: 2 alphanumeric
Identifies the major organizational unit within the University submitting the data.
01 - Berkeley
02 - San Francisco
03 - Davis
04 - Los Angeles
05 - Riverside
06 - San Diego
07 - Santa Cruz

All contract and grant award sponsors must be coded and entered into the Sponsor Code Table. Sponsor codes are
used when reporting proposals and awards from Federal and State sponsors. Therefore, new sponsor codes are assigned
for proposals and awards from new federal and state sponsors.
Sponsor codes are not assigned for use in reporting proposals from County, Municipal and Foreign Institutions and
Private Sponsors or Foundation sponsors. Therefore, when reporting proposals to any Nonfederal/Nonstate sponsor,
enter the sponsor's name in the Data Field entitled "SPONSOR NAME -- NONFEDERAL/NONSTATE " and use the
9850 Miscellaneous Sponsor code. The Miscellaneous Sponsor Code must not be used in the award file.
In all other instances where a specific sponsor code is to be used for reporting proposal and award transactions
but is not provided in the Sponsor Code Table, write for assignment of sponsor code number using the Sponsor Code
Assignment Request form.
The Sponsor Code Table is updated at the close of every quarter to reflect newly assigned sponsor codes. Newly
assigned sponsor codes will be summarized as quarterly updates to the Sponsor Code Table and may be downloaded
in electronic form from the UCOP Research Administration homepage at http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/sponsors. The
complete sponsor code table as of the last quarter is also available electronically at the same url.
B. Assignment of New Codes
When a sponsor code does not exist in the Sponsor Code Table, fax a request for a new sponsor code to the Office
of the President Research Administration Office (510-835-3705) using the Sponsor Code Assignment Request form (See
sample attached).
If, during the edit cycle, a sponsor code is needed to correct an error, telephone requests for sponsor codes will
be accepted at 510-987-9838 simultaneously with submission of the Sponsor Code Assignment Request form.
C. Externally Sponsored Inter-campus Subawards
When an inter-campus subaward is received from another campus, DOE Laboratory, OP, or A&NR that received the
prime award from an external sponsor, the dollar amount of the subaward is reported and the awarding campus, Laboratory,
OP, A&NR, or UC program is identified as the sponsor using the Sponsor Code of the UC location or UC program.
Subawards received by DOE Laboratories from campuses are not reportable by the DOE Laboratories.
Sponsor codes have been assigned to UC campuses, DOE Laboratories, OP, A&NR, and UC intramural programs. The
following list includes sponsor codes assigned to UC locations and selected intramural programs.

D. Reporting Awards from A&NR
The following are special instructions to A&NR and campus organizations for reporting awards signed by the
A&NR contract and grant officer but performed on campus(es):
1. If performed entirely on a single campus, the campus will report the entire award and A&NR will not report
the award.
2. If the prime award is assigned to a lead campus for
performance and administration, and there are further
subawards to other campuses, the lead campus will report
the entire award, other campuses will report the amount of the subawards received from the lead campus, and A&NR
will not report the award.
3. If the administration of the prime award is retained by
A&NR but is performed on multiple campuses, A&NR will
report the entire award, and each campus will report their parts of the whole as subawards from A&NR.
VI HOW DATA IS SUBMITTED
A. Campuses
Award and proposal data prepared throughout the quarter by the campus contract and grant office will be gathered
by the campus information systems office according to procedures and schedules developed by each campus.
The campus information systems office will forward the data quarterly to IR&C, Office of the President according
to detailed specifications developed by Office of the President IR & C. Refer to Campus Specifications for
Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements, dated December, 1980 and revised March, 1981. This information
is available electronically at http://www.ucop.edu/irc/campus_specs/cgx
Data for each quarter is due at Office of the President IR & C on the fifteenth working day of the month following
the end of the quarter. First, second, third and fourth quarter due dates are the fifteenth working day of October,
January, April, and July, respectively. Corrections to fourth quarter data are due within five working days of
receipt of the edit, in order to complete year-end processing.
B. DOE Laboratories, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Office of the President Offices
DOE Laboratories and Office of the President offices will report award and proposal activity to the CGX system
by preparing data input forms, one per award or proposal action, and submitting them to the Office of the President
Research Administration Office. The Office of the President Research Administration Office will provide a supply
of these forms. A sample of the forms and instructions on their completion are provided in Table 8.
As soon as possible after the information arrives at the Office of the President Research Administration Office,
the data will be edited for validity and completeness. A report of errors, if any, will be returned to the appropriate
submitting office.
The error report will be reviewed by the Laboratory, A&NR, or OP and a replacement form prepared for each rejected
transaction. See Section VI for more information on error detection and correction.
VI CORRECTION OF ERRORS
A. Error Detection
Data submitted to the CGX System must pass strict editing and completeness tests. Similar testing should be done
by campus systems. These tests are for:
(1) Missing data in required fields; (2) Non-numeric data in numeric fields; (3) Use of unauthorized or invalid
codes; and (4) Use of invalid dates.
The validation tests are described in detail in the Campus Specifications for Corporate Contract and Grant Information
Requirements, distributed by the Office of the President. Table 1, Summary of Data Element Edits, lists each data
element, indicates whether it applies to proposals and/or awards, and defines the data element edit criteria, the
level of the error, and the error message that appears on the edit report.
B. Error Reporting
Errors detected by the Corporate System are reported on the "Corporate Contracts and Grants System Edit Error
Report -Awards" (CGX0310A) and on the "Corporate Contracts and Grants System Edit Error Report - Proposals"
(CGX0310P). These reports are sent to the responsible campus/lab Contract and Grant Office for appropriate action.
See paragraph III.B. for required changes and correction to data previously submitted.
The edit reports identify the award or proposal record, give a message describing the error(s), display the actual
value of the data in error, and indicate if the record was "processed" or "rejected".
If the record appears on the error report but shows "processed" in the right margin, then all of the
data on the record is retained by the CGX System and will be processed in the quarterly reports.
If the record appears on the error report but shows "rejected" in the right margin, then none of the
data on that record is retained by the CGX System, but must be resubmitted in order to be processed. See Table
2 for sample edit reports.
The "Update Warning Message Report - Awards", (CGX0410A) and Update Warning Messages Report - Proposals",
(CGX0410P) lists awards and proposals for which the sponsor, contract/grant type, or project type changed between
the record that is in the data base and the quarterly file input.
C. Error Correction
All locations must correct all awards identified as "rejected" by the error reports if the transaction
is to be included in the quarterly report. Correction of "rejected" and "processed" errors
on awards may be deferred until the next quarter during the First through Third Quarters. All rejected and processed
errors for awards must be corrected by the Fourth Quarter of each year so that the Annual Listing of Awards is
correct. Correction of proposal errors is not required, but locations are encouraged to correct errors, particularly
large errors in project cost. It is preferable to correct errors in the quarter in which they occur rather than
deferring corrections to the next quarter.
Correction of errors is accomplished by resubmitting the entire quarterly file with erroneous records corrected
to the Office of the President. Contract and Grant offices on campuses will utilize campus-developed procedures
for data correction and its subsequent submittal to IR & C by the campus information systems office. The correcting
entry for an award record must have a different Award Form Preparation Date from the transaction in error, otherwise
the correcting transaction will be rejected on the basis of the edit for same date award preparation. DOE Laboratories
and Agriculture and Natural Resources work directly with the OP Research Administration Office to correct errors.
VII CORPORATE CONTRACT AND GRANT REPORTS
A. Standard Reports and User Access Reports
The CGX system generates quarterly and annual fixed-format reports, some of which are distributed to the campus,
Laboratory, and OP locations. The CGX system also is available for generating reports through User Access. Using
an account at the Office of the President Corporate Data Center, User Access allows reports to be developed from
the CGX award or proposal database according to specifications developed by the user. Campus, Laboratory or OP
locations may obtain access to the CGX data base and receive a copy of the CGX User Manual which describes the
data elements available for reporting and instructions on how to access the system. Requests may also be made to
the office of the President Research Administration Office to develop unique reports. The following lists the quarterly
and annual fixed format reports that are generated by the CGX system. An asterisk (*) indicates that a copy of
the report is distributed to the campus, Laboratory or OP location.

Enclosure 1. Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 45 June 28, 1979
I PURPOSE
The University of California, Office of the President (OP), Research Administration Office (RAO) within the Office
of Senior Vice President -- Business and Finance is responsible for administering the Corporate Contract and Grant
Information System (CGX).
The CGX was created to meet information needs of OP management, and to fulfilling Assembly Concurrent Resolution
No. 45. ACR 45 requires the University to disclose to the public upon request, the conditions attached to significant
contracts, grants, and other instruments of sponsorship. The RAO serves as a central contact point to the public
for this purpose. See Enclosure 1, ACR 45.
The Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements define the required corporate contract and grant information
needs and identify the interface between the campus contract and grant office and the Corporate Contract and Grant
System. The purpose is not to specify an information system or provide corporate forms for campus use. Each location
may design its own reporting system and forms as long as the local system produces the information in the format
required by the corporate system.
II WHO MUST PROVIDE DATA
Data is submitted from all campuses, major DOE laboratories, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Office of the
President offices as follows:
Campuses Laboratories
Berkeley Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
San Francisco Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Davis Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Angeles Other
Riverside Agriculture and Natural Resources (A&NR)
San Diego Office of the President Offices (OP)
Santa Barbara
Santa Cruz
Irvine
Merced
III WHAT TRANSACTIONS ARE REPORTED
A. Initial Proposal and Award Transactions
1. Reportable transactions for Office of the President and campus locations must meet all of the following criteria.
a. The transaction is a proposal or application, or a contract, grant or cooperative agreement award:
i. Excluding gifts;
ii. Excluding master contracts or basic agreements which themselves do not provide funds or require performance;
iii. Excluding 19900-funded activities.
b. The transaction is with a sponsor external to the campus:
i. Including governmental and private sponsors;
ii. Including proposals to and awards from DOE
Laboratories;
iii. Including proposals and awards under
special State appropriations for research that are administered by the University;
iv. Including subawards issued by another U.C. campus or A&NR under their prime award. See data definition
of Sponsor Code for guidance in reporting subawards.
C. The transaction is for one of the purposes specified under the Project Type Code definition and
i. Excluding awards made to The Regents that are administered directly by campus Student Aid Offices for the following
purposes: National Direct Student Loan Program, College Work Study, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
Basic Educational Opportunity Grants;
ii. Excluding Federal construction grants that are subject to the policies and procedures set forth in the University
Facilities Manual Section E-1.7.
B. Changes and Corrections to Data Previously Reported
1. Awards
Award information is maintained in the CGX system for five years after the award expires. All changes and corrections
to awards previously submitted and which are still active (the award period has not ended) or have terminated within
the last five years are reportable.
Data fields provided to the Corporate Contract and Grant System via campus automated systems or via forms (DOE
laboratories and OP) will contain the latest information at the time the transaction is processed by the contract
and grant office in all fields except in the Award Amount field. The Award Amount field will contain the positive
or negative amount of change. This is the amount by which the previously reported amount must be adjusted in order
to result in the latest correct total amount.
Award numbers must be "unique and non-varying over time". Once an award is reported under an award number,
all future transactions must use the exact same award number, including the same spacing and punctuation marks.
The practice of adding to the award number when reporting subsequent transactions under the same award, such as
"Mod 1" or "Sup 1" or "/02" must not be done.
2. Proposals
Proposal information is maintained in the CGX system for one fiscal year after the proposal is reported. The CGX
system is not intended to reflect the exact status of each proposal. Changes and corrections that occur within
the same reporting quarter as the initial proposal transactions are reportable in the CGX system. Changes to proposal
data beyond a reporting quarter need not be reported; instead a new proposal transaction may be reported. Corrections
to proposal data may be submitted up until one year after the proposal has been reported. This should be done particularly
if large dollar errors have been made.
Data fields transmitted to the Corporate Contract and Grant System via automated systems or via forms will contain
the latest information in all fields except in the Project Cost -- Proposed field. The Project Cost -- Proposed
field will contain the positive or negative amount of change. This is the amount by which the previously recorded
amount must be adjusted in order to result in the latest correct total amount.
3. Expired Awards
Expired awards are retained in the Corporate System for five years before they are purged. If within the five year
period a transaction occurs that changes the period of performance so as to make the award active, the transaction
routinely should be entered as described in paragraph III.B.1. "Resubmission of expired award", is no
longer a valid award action and will result in a rejected record during the edit process. All award actions must
be either "new" or "continuation". "Continuation" is used for awards that have expired
within the last five years and are being reactivated.
IV WHAT DATA IS SUBMITTED
A. Overview of Data Elements
The CGX system contains two types of data: data submitted from the campus, Laboratory or systemwide location and
data generated by the CGX system by accessing other corporate systems. For instance, the account number is submitted
by the local Contracts and Grants Office reporting system; the CGX corporate system then accesses the Corporate
Account Fund Profile portion of the corporate accounting system and, matching the location and account number,
generates the data elements account name, organizational unit name, academic discipline, and functional classification.
Similarly, only the fund number data element is submitted by the local system to the Office of the President. The
corporate CGX system then accesses the Corporate Account Fund Profile and, matching location and fund number, derives
the data elements method of payment and on/off campus location. As a result of using data elements submitted by
the campus/OP location and then linking to other systems to generate additional data, there is more information
provided in CGX Reports than is submitted during the quarterly input process.
For a complete list of the data elements available for reporting in the CGX system, including those elements derived
by linking to other corporate reporting systems, contact the Office of the President Research Administration Office.

C. DATA ELEMENT DEFINITIONS
This section describes award and proposal data elements originated by the campus, DOE Laboratory or OP location
and required to meet corporate needs. The code values identified herein are those utilized by the CGX corporate
system. Campus systems may use different code values.
ACCOUNT NUMBER Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
The number code taken from the campus list of accounts which identifies the actual expenditure account where costs
under the project are charged.
For new projects in which no account number has been assigned by the Accounting Office, it is necessary to ascertain
and enter one of the responsible department's standard account numbers.
The use of the Account Number in the CGX System is to identify the department or ORU name, by reference to the
campus list of account numbers, and to identify the academic discipline.
If an Account Number not in the campus list of accounts is used, this will result in the contract, grant or cooperative
agreement being disassociated from the appropriate department.
AWARD ACTION CODE-CGX Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
This field indicates if the award is new or a continuation of a previous award.
Corporate Code
1 New - there was no prior award.
2 Continuation - all actions other than New, including renewals. Continuations include actions where additional
funds are being provided to continue a project, e.g-, budget period or equivalent, incremental funding amounts,
the beginning of a project period where there has been a previous project period, no cost time extension, etc.
AWARD AMOUNT Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
The total dollars awarded are reported including indirect costs but not cost sharing or "University Participation".
The total dollars awarded means the amount actually authorized by the grant award or, in the case of a contract,
the total estimated cost authorized for the period of performance. In the case of an equipment grant, the value
of the equipment may be reported.
The first time the award is reported, the Award Amount will be the amount actually awarded. On subsequent reporting,
report only the amount of change, if any, (positive or negative). This is the amount by which the previously reported
amount must be adjusted in order to result in the latest correct total amount.
AWARD FORM PREPARATION DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date on which the award form data document is prepared by the contract and grant office. If multiple award actions
occur within a quarter for a given award, these actions should not be summarized into one transaction. To be processed
correctly, multiple actions for a given award must have non-duplicating Award Form Preparation Dates in chronological
sequence.
AWARD NUMBER Field Length/Type: 30 alphanumeric
The unique identifying number assigned by the sponsoring agency (or by the campus contract and grant office in
the absence of a sponsor assigned award number) to the contract, grant, or cooperative agreement award document.
Only numbers assigned to project agreements, task orders, or individual awards (which may incorporate the Basic
Agreement or Master Contract Number) made pursuant to Basic Agreements or Master Contract may be used.
If the sponsor has assigned no award number, it is essential that the Contract and Grant Office systematically
assign a number to an awarded contract, grant, or cooperative agreement. Any system is satisfactory as long as
the number is unique within the first 30 characters and non-varying over time.
Each award must have a unique award number. Projects with multiple sponsors must use unique award numbers for each
sponsor. This is because the transaction will replace (overlay) data for another sponsor when the award number
is the same.
The award number is used by the Corporate System to uniquely identify the award. Therefore, the number must be
unique to one award only and must not change. If for any reason the award number changes, then the original or
"parent" award number (without modification or identifiers) must be used when reporting to the Corporate
System. The award number must not be modified, such as "Mod 1" or "Sup 1" or "/02",
and it must have the exact same spacing and punctuation marks.
AWARD PERIOD START DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date that a new, renewal, or supplemental agreement award becomes effective. The term effective for reporting purposes
means the calendar date recognized by the award as the beginning for performance and incidence of costs. Note that
the award period start date may be a date preceding the date the award is either fully executed or received by
the University. If there is no known start date as in the case of some private grants, the start date should be
the date the private grant is received by the campus Contract and Grant Office. All awards must have a specified
start date. The following example illustrates what is reportable as the Award Period Start Date for renewals:
Year 1: 7/1/79 to 6/30/80 report Start date of 7/1/79 and End
date of 6/30/80
Year 2: 7/1/80 to 6/30/81 report Start date of 7/1/80 and End
date of 6/30/81
Year 3: 7/1/81 to 6/30/82 report Start date of 7/1/81 and End
date of 6/30/82
AWARD PERIOD END DATE Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
Date the award ends. In the case of multi-year grants (e.g., PHS), enter the end date of the current budget period.
If the entire project period is fully funded, then enter the end date of the project period. The project period
for grants is for administrative planning purposes only and imposes no legal obligation by the Government to require
performance or provide funding beyond the current budget period, and provides no legal rights to the grantee beyond
the current budget period.
In the case of multi-year contracts the award end date depends on how the contract is written. When the contract
requires performance and provides funding for only one of a series of years, the end date should be the end of
that current "budget" period. When the contract requires performance for the entire multi-year "project"
period and provides either full or incremental funding, the end date should be the end of the multi-year "project"
period. The multi-year period in contracts is a contractually recognized period of time during which the Government
is required to obtain contractor performance and is obligated to continue to fund the contract except in the event
of a formal termination for convenience. For reporting purposes therefore, the end date of the award for a multi-year
contract is the performance completion date, not the time period associated with incremental funding amounts.
In the case of a private grant or other type of award that does not specify a known end date, then arbitrarily
assign a definite end date, e.g., one year after the private grant is received by the contracts and grants office.
The Award Amount should be the amount awarded (total estimated cost or fixed price) through the Award Period End
Date.
CONTRACT/GRANT CODE Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
All award and proposal transactions, including project agreements, task orders or individual awards issued pursuant
to a Basic Agreement or Master Contract, must indicate whether they are for a contract, grant or cooperative agreement.
If an award instrument is not identified by the sponsor as a grant or cooperative agreement, it may be identified
as a contract.
Corporate Code
K - Contract
G - Grant
A - Cooperative Agreement
FUND NUMBER Field Length/Type: 5 alphanumeric
A number assigned by the Accounting Office that identifies a specific source of funds. The fund number is uniquely
associated with the funds received for a particular award during each fiscal year or entire period that a contract,
grant or cooperative agreement is operative. Its primary function is the positive identification of the contract
and grant in the University's ledgers and is a cross- reference to the General Ledger accounts produced by the
Accounting System. Further, it is used by the CGX system to link to the Corporate Account Fund Profile and determine
the on- or off-campus location of the project and the method of payment. If no fund number will be assigned because
the award is an equipment grant, use fund number 00000.
INDIRECT COST - APPLICABLE RATE Field Length/Type: 4 numeric
Rate (calculated as the percentage figure) awarded to recover the University's indirect costs under grants, contracts,
and cooperative agreements. The CGX data element for indirect costs is 4 spaces: 3 before the decimal point and
1 after. All four spaces must be filled. The following are examples:
Indirect Cost Rate CGX Report
43.8% 0438
8% 0080
0% 0000
100% 1000
MATCHING FUNDS Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
The amount of State funds, if any, pledged as matching funds in awards. Matching funds are reported to the Office
of the President as the current cumulative total amount of matching funds, not the amount of increase or decrease.
This is in contrast to reporting changes in the "Award Amount".
There is no ultimate difference between matching and cost sharing, rather the difference is categorically made
by the sponsor and in the absence of a categorical assertion by the sponsor then is a matter of degree. For reporting
purposes, matching funds means a University contribution of 19900 funds (in cash, or in-kind values that are funded
by 19900 funds). Matching excludes cost sharing which is voluntary and not legally obligated to be performed or
is provided under institutional cost sharing agreements.
NAME - CO-PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Field Length/Type: 35 alphanumeric
The name, if any, of the investigator who is working with the Principal Investigator on the sponsored project.
The full name may be reported in the format: last name (comma) first name (space) middle name(s) (comma) suffix.
However, only the first 20 letters of the last name and initial of the first name are required. If there is more
than one Co-Principal Investigator, select only one for reporting.
NAME - PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Field Length/Type: 35 alphanumeric
The full name of the principal investigator may be reported in the format: last name (comma) first name (space)
middle name(s) (comma) suffix. However, only the first 20 letters of the last name and initial of the first name
are required.
PROJECT NAME Field Length/Type: 135 alphanumeric
The complete descriptive title of the project. The title should not contain acronyms and should clearly convey
the activity for which funding has been received.
PROJECT TYPE CODE Field Length/Type: 1 alphanumeric
Identifies the award or proposal by purpose. The project type is reported for the total award, not for the individual
transaction. For instance, if a modification to a basic research project is made to authorize equipment purchase,
the project type remains basic research. All awards and proposals must be identified by one of the following:
Project Type Code
1 - Basic Research
2 - Applied Research
3 - Developmental Research
A - Clinical Trial Research
4 - Other Research
5 - Training
6 - Public Service
7 - Other Service
8 - Equipment
B - Material Transfer
9 - Other
Project Type Code Definitions:
1. Basic Research - research that is directed toward increase of knowledge in science wherein the primary aim of
the investigator is a fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject under study, rather than a clear or direct
practical application thereof. This includes analytical and experimental activities that primarily seek to increase
the understanding of fundamental phenomena. The end product is usually a report, although experimental hardware
may be involved. In basic research, the particular use of the knowledge is not foreseen or identified at the beginning
of the effort.
2. Applied Research - consists of the effort that: (1) normally follows basic research, but may not be severable
from the related basic research; (2) attempts to determine and expand the potentialities of new scientific discoveries
or improvements in technology, materials, processes, methods, devices, and techniques; and (3) attempts to "advance
the state of the art". Applied research involves the study of phenomena relating to specific, known needs
in connection with the functional characteristics of a system. Applied research does not include any efforts when
their principal aim is the design, development, or test of specific articles or services to be offered for sale,
which are within the definition of the term development.
3. Developmental Research - the systematic use and practical application of investigative findings and theories
of a scientific or technical nature toward the production of, or improvements in, useful products to meet specific
performance requirements but exclusive of manufacturing and production engineering. The dominant characteristic
is that the effort be pointed toward specific problem areas to develop and evaluate the feasibility and practicability
of proposed solutions and determine their parameters. Development includes studies, investigations, initial hardware
development and ultimately development of hardware, systems, or other means for experimental or operational test.
A. Clinical Trial Research - the controlled clinical testing of investigational new drugs, devices, treatments,
or diagnostics, or comparisons of approved drugs, devices, treatments, or diagnostics, to assess their safety,
efficacy, benefits, costs, adverse reactions, and/or outcomes, if any, in human subjects. Such studies may be conducted
under either a sponsor-developed or an investigator-developed protocol. These studies are conducted in conjunction
with obtaining new drug or device approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, under Phase I, II, III,
or IV. Pre-clinical laboratory studies or studies in animals are not included under the term clinical trial research
and neither are projects designed to develop new compounds, as well as test them; such projects are reported in
one of the other research categories.
4. Other Research - is to be used only if a research project cannot be classified as basic, applied, developmental,
or clinical trial research.
5. Training (benefiting the University) - for the purposes of reporting to Office of the President, this category
means the conduct of scholarly, professional, occupational instruction for matriculated students or University
employees in forms such as classes, seminars, workshops, conferences, etc. This category includes sponsorship of
students or employees who are "in training" primarily but not exclusively at the graduate and postgraduate
levels. The scope of this code also includes sponsored training awards made to The Regents which provide for selection
of student recipients by academic departments, and the institutional support which is either included in the training
grant or is applied for and awarded separately. Excluded from this group and from this contract and grant information
requirement are fellowships or other similar awards made directly from sponsors to students, and Student Aid programs
identified in III.A.l.c.
Awards and proposals which require both the development of training materials and the conduct of training as part
of the same award should be identified as Training, (Category 5).
Awards and proposals which are primarily for development of training materials and curricula should be identified
as Developmental Research, (Category 3).
Training projects which are intended for the training to be conducted by the University for presentation to and
for primary benefit to the public, i.e., individuals or groups external to the University, should be identified
as Public Service, (Category 6).
6. Public Service - as the term is interpreted in the context of sponsored projects means externally sponsored
projects where the sponsor, particularly the Federal and state Government, desire to have the University provide
the benefits of scholarly or professional training or services to individuals or sponsor designated recipient groups
which are external to the University. Examples of public service may include some programs such as those sponsored
by the Agency for International Development, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Institutes
of Health in the area of biomedical services or training. The principal characteristic of public service is that
individuals and groups external to the University are the intended beneficiaries.
7. Other Service - includes services which the University provides or makes available which do not fit within the
categories of training or public service, such as the use of University facilities as provided by Regulation 4.
8. Equipment - applications or awards which are restricted by the sponsor for the sole purpose of the University's
procurement of equipment. This may include direct grants of equipment, or full or partial funding to enable the
University to purchase equipment, where in both cases the sponsor intends to transfer or have title to the equipment
vest in the University.
B. Material Transfer - used for agreements whose sole purpose is to govern the transfer of materials to the University
from the provider wherein the provider restricts the use of the material to a designated research project. Such
agreements often include rights granted back to the provider. Materials may include, but are not limited to, cultures,
cell lines, plasmids, nucleotides, proteins, bacteria, transgenic animals, pharmaceuticals, devices, models, reagents
or other chemicals. When terms pertaining to the transfer of materials are integrated into an agreement that provides
for both the funding of research and the transfer of materials, use the project type appropriate for the financial
transaction (e.g. basic research).
9. Other - to be used only if a project can not be classified by one of the above categories.
PROPOSAL IDENTIFYING NUMBER Field Length/Type: 10 alphanumeric
An identifying number assigned by the campus contract and grant office. Most campuses have formulated a system
which allows the proposal number to convey information concerning the fiscal year in which the proposal is made
and in some cases to indicate whether the proposal is a revision or a multiple solicitation. Numbers assigned by
sponsors to their requests for proposals, invitations for bids, or other solicitation methods, etc. are not to
be used.
PROJECT COST - PROPOSED Field Length/Type: 8 numeric
Enter the anticipated project cost including indirect costs. The first time the proposal is reported, the Proposed
Project Cost will be the total anticipated project cost. When reporting subsequent revisions to the proposed project
cost (required in the original reporting quarter only), only the amount of change (positive or negative) will be
reported.
PROJECT DURATION - PROPOSED Field Length/Type: 3 alphanumeric
The number of months proposed as the performance period.
SPONSOR CODE Field Length/Type: 4 alphanumeric
All contract and grant activity must be reported using sponsor codes that identify the organization sponsoring
the project. Sponsor codes are provided on the Sponsor Code Table maintained and updated quarterly by the Office
of the President Research Administration Office. The Sponsor Code Table is organized in three parts: Federal, State,
and All Other. University of California campuses and special research programs are listed under All Other, UC (name
of campus or program). Agricultural Marketing Order Boards are listed under All Other, CALIF (name of Marketing
Order Board).
SPONSOR NAME - NONFEDERAL/NONSTATE Field Length/Type: 90 alphanumeric
The name of the "Nonfederal or Nonstate" sponsor. This information is required only if there is no sponsor
code provided in the Sponsor Code Table and the Miscellaneous Sponsor Code 9850 has been used in reporting a proposal.
The Miscellaneous Sponsor Code 9850 is not allowed in the awards file.
TRANSACTION REFERENCE NUMBER Field Length/Type: 6 alphanumeric
The Transaction Reference Number is assigned at the option of the campus and is not required. It is a number derived
from a source document or generated by the system which uniquely identifies a transaction on a campus input file.
It is printed on edit reports when invalid data is encountered to facilitate identifying the unique source document
or system generated transaction causing the error.
UC LOCATION CODE - CGX Field Length/Type: 2 alphanumeric
Identifies the major organizational unit within the University submitting the data.
01 - Berkeley
02 - San Francisco
03 - Davis
04 - Los Angeles
05 - Riverside
06 - San Diego
07 - Santa Cruz

All contract and grant award sponsors must be coded and entered into the Sponsor Code Table. Sponsor codes are
used when reporting proposals and awards from Federal and State sponsors. Therefore, new sponsor codes are assigned
for proposals and awards from new federal and state sponsors.
Sponsor codes are not assigned for use in reporting proposals from County, Municipal and Foreign Institutions and
Private Sponsors or Foundation sponsors. Therefore, when reporting proposals to any Nonfederal/Nonstate sponsor,
enter the sponsor's name in the Data Field entitled "SPONSOR NAME -- NONFEDERAL/NONSTATE " and use the
9850 Miscellaneous Sponsor code. The Miscellaneous Sponsor Code must not be used in the award file.
In all other instances where a specific sponsor code is to be used for reporting proposal and award transactions
but is not provided in the Sponsor Code Table, write for assignment of sponsor code number using the Sponsor Code
Assignment Request form.
The Sponsor Code Table is updated at the close of every quarter to reflect newly assigned sponsor codes. Newly
assigned sponsor codes will be summarized as quarterly updates to the Sponsor Code Table and may be downloaded
in electronic form from the UCOP Research Administration homepage at http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/sponsors. The
complete sponsor code table as of the last quarter is also available electronically at the same url.
B. Assignment of New Codes
When a sponsor code does not exist in the Sponsor Code Table, fax a request for a new sponsor code to the Office
of the President Research Administration Office (510-835-3705) using the Sponsor Code Assignment Request form (See
sample attached).
If, during the edit cycle, a sponsor code is needed to correct an error, telephone requests for sponsor codes will
be accepted at 510-987-9838 simultaneously with submission of the Sponsor Code Assignment Request form.
C. Externally Sponsored Inter-campus Subawards
When an inter-campus subaward is received from another campus, DOE Laboratory, OP, or A&NR that received the
prime award from an external sponsor, the dollar amount of the subaward is reported and the awarding campus, Laboratory,
OP, A&NR, or UC program is identified as the sponsor using the Sponsor Code of the UC location or UC program.
Subawards received by DOE Laboratories from campuses are not reportable by the DOE Laboratories.
Sponsor codes have been assigned to UC campuses, DOE Laboratories, OP, A&NR, and UC intramural programs. The
following list includes sponsor codes assigned to UC locations and selected intramural programs.

D. Reporting Awards from A&NR
The following are special instructions to A&NR and campus organizations for reporting awards signed by the
A&NR contract and grant officer but performed on campus(es):
1. If performed entirely on a single campus, the campus will report the entire award and A&NR will not report
the award.
2. If the prime award is assigned to a lead campus for
performance and administration, and there are further
subawards to other campuses, the lead campus will report
the entire award, other campuses will report the amount of the subawards received from the lead campus, and A&NR
will not report the award.
3. If the administration of the prime award is retained by
A&NR but is performed on multiple campuses, A&NR will
report the entire award, and each campus will report their parts of the whole as subawards from A&NR.
VI HOW DATA IS SUBMITTED
A. Campuses
Award and proposal data prepared throughout the quarter by the campus contract and grant office will be gathered
by the campus information systems office according to procedures and schedules developed by each campus.
The campus information systems office will forward the data quarterly to IR&C, Office of the President according
to detailed specifications developed by Office of the President IR & C. Refer to Campus Specifications for
Corporate Contract and Grant Information Requirements, dated December, 1980 and revised March, 1981. This information
is available electronically at http://www.ucop.edu/irc/campus_specs/cgx
Data for each quarter is due at Office of the President IR & C on the fifteenth working day of the month following
the end of the quarter. First, second, third and fourth quarter due dates are the fifteenth working day of October,
January, April, and July, respectively. Corrections to fourth quarter data are due within five working days of
receipt of the edit, in order to complete year-end processing.
B. DOE Laboratories, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Office of the President Offices
DOE Laboratories and Office of the President offices will report award and proposal activity to the CGX system
by preparing data input forms, one per award or proposal action, and submitting them to the Office of the President
Research Administration Office. The Office of the President Research Administration Office will provide a supply
of these forms. A sample of the forms and instructions on their completion are provided in Table 8.
As soon as possible after the information arrives at the Office of the President Research Administration Office,
the data will be edited for validity and completeness. A report of errors, if any, will be returned to the appropriate
submitting office.
The error report will be reviewed by the Laboratory, A&NR, or OP and a replacement form prepared for each rejected
transaction. See Section VI for more information on error detection and correction.
VI CORRECTION OF ERRORS
A. Error Detection
Data submitted to the CGX System must pass strict editing and completeness tests. Similar testing should be done
by campus systems. These tests are for:
(1) Missing data in required fields; (2) Non-numeric data in numeric fields; (3) Use of unauthorized or invalid
codes; and (4) Use of invalid dates.
The validation tests are described in detail in the Campus Specifications for Corporate Contract and Grant Information
Requirements, distributed by the Office of the President. Table 1, Summary of Data Element Edits, lists each data
element, indicates whether it applies to proposals and/or awards, and defines the data element edit criteria, the
level of the error, and the error message that appears on the edit report.
B. Error Reporting
Errors detected by the Corporate System are reported on the "Corporate Contracts and Grants System Edit Error
Report -Awards" (CGX0310A) and on the "Corporate Contracts and Grants System Edit Error Report - Proposals"
(CGX0310P). These reports are sent to the responsible campus/lab Contract and Grant Office for appropriate action.
See paragraph III.B. for required changes and correction to data previously submitted.
The edit reports identify the award or proposal record, give a message describing the error(s), display the actual
value of the data in error, and indicate if the record was "processed" or "rejected".
If the record appears on the error report but shows "processed" in the right margin, then all of the
data on the record is retained by the CGX System and will be processed in the quarterly reports.
If the record appears on the error report but shows "rejected" in the right margin, then none of the
data on that record is retained by the CGX System, but must be resubmitted in order to be processed. See Table
2 for sample edit reports.
The "Update Warning Message Report - Awards", (CGX0410A) and Update Warning Messages Report - Proposals",
(CGX0410P) lists awards and proposals for which the sponsor, contract/grant type, or project type changed between
the record that is in the data base and the quarterly file input.
C. Error Correction
All locations must correct all awards identified as "rejected" by the error reports if the transaction
is to be included in the quarterly report. Correction of "rejected" and "processed" errors
on awards may be deferred until the next quarter during the First through Third Quarters. All rejected and processed
errors for awards must be corrected by the Fourth Quarter of each year so that the Annual Listing of Awards is
correct. Correction of proposal errors is not required, but locations are encouraged to correct errors, particularly
large errors in project cost. It is preferable to correct errors in the quarter in which they occur rather than
deferring corrections to the next quarter.
Correction of errors is accomplished by resubmitting the entire quarterly file with erroneous records corrected
to the Office of the President. Contract and Grant offices on campuses will utilize campus-developed procedures
for data correction and its subsequent submittal to IR & C by the campus information systems office. The correcting
entry for an award record must have a different Award Form Preparation Date from the transaction in error, otherwise
the correcting transaction will be rejected on the basis of the edit for same date award preparation. DOE Laboratories
and Agriculture and Natural Resources work directly with the OP Research Administration Office to correct errors.
VII CORPORATE CONTRACT AND GRANT REPORTS
A. Standard Reports and User Access Reports
The CGX system generates quarterly and annual fixed-format reports, some of which are distributed to the campus,
Laboratory, and OP locations. The CGX system also is available for generating reports through User Access. Using
an account at the Office of the President Corporate Data Center, User Access allows reports to be developed from
the CGX award or proposal database according to specifications developed by the user. Campus, Laboratory or OP
locations may obtain access to the CGX data base and receive a copy of the CGX User Manual which describes the
data elements available for reporting and instructions on how to access the system. Requests may also be made to
the office of the President Research Administration Office to develop unique reports. The following lists the quarterly
and annual fixed format reports that are generated by the CGX system. An asterisk (*) indicates that a copy of
the report is distributed to the campus, Laboratory or OP location.
