What part of the application/award number is the IC and serial number?
• A single-digit Application Type • A three-digit Activity Code • A two-letter IC Code • A six-digit Serial Number • A two-digit Grant Year (preceded by a dash to separate it from the serial number) • Additional suffix information that may include the letter “S” and related number for a particular supplement record, the letter “A” and related number to identify an amendment and/or the letter “X” and related number to identify a fellowship’s institutional allowance record. For example, 3R01CA123456-04S1A1 would indicate an amendment (A1) to a supplemental (Type 3) application for a traditional research project (R01) referred to the National Cancer Institute (CA). The number further identifies the application serially as the 123456 new proposal submitted to the NCI, and indicates that this is the first supplemental application (S1) to the fourth year (-04) of the support to this project. In this example, the IC and serial number would be “CA123456”. Additional information on the NIH gran
