RePORTER Project Data
Application_ID: A unique identifier of the project record in the ExPORTER database.
Activity: A 3-character code identifying the grant, contract, or intramural activity through which a project is supported. Within each funding mechanism, NIH uses 3-character activity codes (e.g., F32, K08, P01, R01, T32, etc.) to differentiate the wide variety of research-related programs NIH supports. A comprehensive list of activity codes for grants and cooperative agreements may be found on the Types of Grant Programs Web page. RePORTER also includes R&D contracts (activity codes beginning with the letter N) and intramural projects (beginning with the letter Z).
Administering_IC: Administering Institute or Center - A two-character code to designate the agency, NIH Institute, or Center administering the grant. See Institute/Center code definitions.
Application_Type: A one-digit code to identify the type of application funded:
1 = New application
2 = Competing continuation (also, competing renewal)
3 = Application for additional (supplemental) support. There are two kinds of type
3 competing revisions (which are peer-reviewed and administrative supplements)
4 = Competing extension for an R37 award or first non-competing year of a Fast Track SBIR/STTR award
5 = Non-competing continuation
7 = Change of grantee institution

Project funding information is available only for NIH, CDC, and FDA projects .
Funding_Mechanism: The major mechanism categories used in NIH Budget mechanism tables for the President’s budget. Extramural research awards are divided into three main funding mechanisms: grants, cooperative agreements and contracts. A funding mechanism is the type of funded application or transaction used at the NIH. Within each funding mechanism NIH includes programs. Programs can be further refined by specific activity codes.

Org_FIPS: The country code of the grantee organization or contractor as defined in the Federal Information Processing Standard.
Org_Name: The name of the educational institution, research organization, business, or government agency receiving funding for the grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or intramural project.
Org_State: The state in which the business office of the grantee organization or contractor is located. Note that this may be different from the research performance site.
Org_Zipcode: The zip code in which the business office of the grantee organization or contractor is located. Note that this may be different from the research performance site.
PHR: Submitted as part of a grant application, this statement articulates a project's potential to improve public health.
PI_ID(s): A unique identifier for each of the project Principal Investigators. Each PI in the RePORTER database has a unique identifier that is constant from project to project and year to year.
PI_Name(s): The name(s) of the Principal Investigator(s) designated by the organization to direct the research project.

Project_Start: The start date of a project. For subprojects of a multi-project grant, this is the start date of the parent award.
Project_End: The current end date of the project, including any future years for which commitments have been made. For subprojects of a multi-project grant, this is the end date of the parent award. Upon competitive renewal of a grant, the project end date is extended by the length of the renewal award.
Project_Terms: Prior to fiscal year 2008, these were thesaurus terms assigned by NIH CRISP indexers. For projects funded in fiscal year 2008 and later, these are concepts that are mined from the project's title, abstract, and specific aims using an automated text mining tool.
