5. Select the Activity Type.
1. Sponsored Research: Research and development activities that are sponsored by Federal and non-Federal agencies and organizations. This term includes activities involving the training of individuals in research techniques (commonly called research training) where such activities utilize the same facilities as other research and development activities and where such activities are not included in the instruction function. (2 CFR 200, Appendix III)
o Research – Basic: Work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge without any particular application or use in mind. (NSF HERD Survey)
o Research – Applied: Work conducted to gain the knowledge or understanding to meet a specific, recognized need. (NSF HERD Survey)
o Research – Development: The systematic use of the knowledge or understanding gained from research directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods, including the design and development of prototypes and processes. (NSF HERD Survey)
2. Sponsored Instruction: Teaching and training activities of an institution. Except for research training, this term includes all teaching and training activities, whether they are offered for credits toward a degree or certificate or on a non-credit basis, and whether they are offered through regular academic departments or separate divisions, such as a summer school division or an extension division. (2 CFR 200, Appendix III)
3. Other Sponsored Activity: Programs and projects financed by Federal and non-Federal agencies and organizations which involve the performance of work other than instruction and organized research. Examples of such programs and projects are health service projects and community service programs. (2 CFR 200, Appendix III)
4. Fellowship: Fellowships are classified as resources restricted to provide financial aid and trainee stipends to graduate students to aid in the individual’s pursuit of study or research. Typically, this sub-category includes grants-in-aid and trainee stipends to graduate students. Fellowships are a common form of aid typically awarded to graduate students, and recipients of fellowships are not expected to render service to the institution as consideration for their fellowship, nor are they expected to repay their fellowship award. Thus, fellowships do not include funds for which services to the institution must be rendered, such as assistantships or payments for teaching, which both require performance or service on the part of the individual. (NACUBO Code 1788)

o Registered in clinicaltrials.gov;
