These enhancements reflect the continued collaboration between Contracts and Grants Accounting (CGA) and UCSF’s research administration community to provide self-service access to extramural funding metrics.

New data filters

  • Updated the Action Type page filter in the Data: Award Funding Detail Data By Year, Funding Volume, and Funding Amount dashboard pages to add the following new Executive Order Action Types:
    • EO Appeal
    • EO Reduction
    • EO Reinstatement
    • EO Rescind
    • EO Suspension
    • EO Termination

Federal Agency

  • A new page filter is added to select the Federal Agency (NIH, CDC, USAID, etc.) for the awards in the Data: Proposal Detail Data By Year, Data: Award Funding Detail Data By Year, and Data: Award Funding & General Ledger Current Balance dashboard pages.
  • The Federal Agency page filter is based on the funding received from the top-level prime sponsor's federal agency, if it exists. Otherwise, it will be based on the top-level award sponsor's federal agency. If it is not a federal agency, it will be labeled as Non-Federal.
