Data element Definition
ACCOUNT_END

Indexed - no
Format - date
May be null? yes

The last date when the fund code specified as the AWARD_FUND may be used to track financial activity for the sponsored research project. Some sponsors have financial reporting requirements that allow the same fund code to be used throughout the awarded project period (also known as the funding cycle—see PENNERA_PROPOSAL’s AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END). Other sponsors have financial reporting requirements that allow the fund code to be used for only for one budget period. See also ACCOUNT_START, AWARDED_PERIOD_START_DATE, and AWARDED_PERIOD_END_DATE. (Unlike AWARDED_PERIOD_START_DATE, ACCOUNT_END does not necessarily change as additional funding segments are received.)

ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR

Indexed - no
Format - char (9)
May be null? yes

The Penn ID of the investigator responsible for managing the funding tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. The account responsible investigator is one of the investigators associated with the proposal. However, it may or may not be the same person as the Principal Investigator for the proposal.

ACCOUNT_START

Indexed - no
Format - date
May be null? yes

The first date when the fund code specified as the AWARD_FUND may be used to track financial activity for the sponsored research project. Some sponsors have financial reporting requirements that allow the same fund code to be used throughout the awarded project period (also known as the funding cycle—see PENNERA_PROPOSAL’s AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END). Other sponsors have financial reporting requirements that allow the fund code to be used for only for one budget period.

ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code for the ERA primary organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR. That is the investigator responsible for managing the funding tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, at the time of the increment. (The ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR might or might not be the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.)

The ERA primary org. is the org. flagged as the primary department in the person’s PennERA Profile. Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the ERA primary org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

For Penn staff, the ERA primary org. is the primary (job) appointment org. For Penn faculty, it is the primary academic (job) appointment org., which will not be the same as primary appointment org. for those faculty holding administrative positions. For Penn employees whose job appointments are all on the executive payroll, ERA primary org. is ‘8000’ ('General University Special '). For Penn students, the ERA primary org. is the organizational equivalent of their home Division (for example, ‘0200’, School of Arts and Sciences.) For investigators from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), the ERA primary org. is ‘2100’ ('Health System '). For members of the research community who are otherwise not affiliated with Penn, the ERA primary org. is ‘8760' ('Research Services').

ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE reflects the ERA primary org. of the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL record for the INSTITUTION_NO. (If the proposal was not awarded, the dates for the funding cycle are the REQUESTED_PROJECT_START and REQUESTED_PROJECT_END.)

To facilitate Organization-based security, ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.

ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_SCH_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (2)
May be null? yes

The 2-character code for the school or center for the ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE. That identifies the ERA primary organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR--the investigator responsible for managing the funding tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, at the time of the increment. (The ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR might or might not be the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.)

The ERA primary org. is the org. flagged as the primary department in the person’s PennERA Profile. Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the ERA primary org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_SCH_CODE reflects the ERA primary school of the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_SCH_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL record for the INSTITUTION_NO. (If the proposal was not awarded, the dates for the funding cycle are the REQUESTED_PROJECT_START and REQUESTED_PROJECT_END.)

If the ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_ORG_CODE is '.', the ACCTRESPINV_ERA_PRI_SCH_CODE is also '.'.

ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes
The 4-character code for the home organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR. That is the investigator responsible for managing the funding tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, at the time of the increment. (The ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR might or might not be the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.)

The home org. is the org. that owns the person's University employee record and is responsible for its maintenance.

ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE reflects the home org. of the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL record for the INSTITUTION_NO. (If the proposal was not awarded, the dates for the funding cycle are the REQUESTED_PROJECT_START and REQUESTED_PROJECT_END.) If the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR has no employee information dating back to the time of the funding cycle, ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE is '.'. (Because the ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE is one of the data elements used to secure the data, it is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.)

Format - char (2)
May be null? yes
The 2-character code for the school or center for the ACCTRESPINV_HOME_ORG_CODE.

ACCTRESPINV_INV_ORG_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code for the investigator organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR. That is the investigator responsible for managing the funding tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, at the time of the increment. (The ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR might or might not be the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.)

Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the investigator org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

For a given investigator associated with an increment, the investigator org. is the org. specified as the Associated Department for the increment (the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE). An exception to this rule is that, if the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE is neither the investigator's ERA primary org. nor an org. where the investigator has a job appointment, when the investigator's data is entered for the increment in PennERA, the investigator org. is chosen from among those orgs., based on its being the one that is most closely related to the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE. In other words:

  • if the investigator has only one org, then that org. is chosen; otherwise,
  • if the investigator has an org. that is the same as the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE, then that org. is chosen; otherwise
  • the investigator's orgs. are sorted in ascending order, and the first org. whose org. code is greater than or equal to the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE is chosen; otherwise,
  • if the investigator has no org. whose org. code is greater than or equal to the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE, the investigator's ERA primary org. is chosen

To facilitate Organization-based security, ACCTRESPINV_INV_ORG_CODE is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.

(The ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR might or might not be the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.)

The primary appointment org. is the org. where the person has his or her primary job appointment, per the University’s employee census logic. The logic used to determine a University employee's primary appointment is documented in the cautions for the EMPLOYEE_GENERAL table.

ACCTRESPINV_PRI_APPT_ORG_CODE reflects the primary appointment org. of the ACCOUNT_RESP_INVESTIGATOR, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle).

AIS_ISSUE_DATE

Indexed - no
Format - date
May be null? yes

The date when the Award Information Sheet (AIS) for the increment was last printed by the PennERA Proposal Tracking system. The value may be null.

When an increment is received, Research Services prepares an AIS that provides information specific to the General Ledger account (AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT) used to track the increment, as well as general award information that is relevant to all accounts associated with an award.
The AIS is provided to the PI, the award responsible investigator, and to administrators as notification that the award has been recorded within PennERA and a fund and account have been assigned within BEN.

AIS_ISSUE_DATE is populated only for increments whose records were entered or updated since October 14, 2003. The value is null for all other records.

ARRA_FUNDED_INCREMENT_FLAG

Indexed - no
Format - char (1)
May be null? yes

A Yes/No flag indicating whether the AWARDED_TOT_SPON_COSTS for the increment were awarded under ARRA (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Recovery Act or the federal economic stimulus program). A proposal with awarded ARRA funding might or might not also have other (non-ARRA) awarded funding. Increments of ARRA funding are flagged so that the University can satisfy the reporting requirements specified under federal regulations for ARRA funding recipients.

Note: some increments whose ARRA_FUNDED_INCREMENT_FLAG is 'Y' might have a status other than 'Awarded'. Depending on the requirements of a particular report on ARRA increments, you might or might not want to specify a condition on INCREMENT_STATUS.

See also ARRA_SUBMISSION_FLAG, ARRA_AWARD_FLAG, and PROJECT_MAJOR_GOALS in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL table.

Values:
Y yes, the increment's AWARDED_TOT_SPON_COSTS

AWARD_BC

Indexed - no
Format - char (1)
May be null? yes
The budgetary control character that represents the level at which funds availability checking occurs in the General Ledger for transactions involving the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT.

AWARD_BC is the third segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.) For awards that were active on or after July 1, 1996, AWARD_BC is ‘4’ (CNAC/ORG/FUND/CREF Project-to-Date).

For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_BC is null.

AWARD_CNAC

Indexed - yes
Format - char (3)
May be null? yes
The 3-character Center/Net Asset Class code. The first two positions identify the school or center responsible for managing all of the money tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. The last position identifies the net asset class of the money tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. For an AWARD_CNAC, the net asset class is always 0 (Unrestricted).

AWARD_CNAC is the first segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.)

For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_CNAC is null. For such records, an approximation of AWARD_CNAC would be the INCREMENT_RESP_SCHOOL_CODE | ‘0’.

AWARD_CREF

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes
The 4-character center reference code that identifies the school- or center-specific individual or group using the money tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. The center reference code is a unique identifier defined by each School or Center, and used to record information important to a school or center, but inappropriate for any other segment of the Accounting Flexfield. Note that while a given center reference code has a unique meaning within a school or center, it has different meanings to different schools or centers.

AWARD_CREF is the sixth segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.) For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_CREF is null.

AWARD_DATE

Indexed - no
Format - date
May be null? yes

The official date on which the increment was awarded by the sponsor to the University.

If the INCREMENT_STATUS is ‘Advance Account’, the AWARD_DATE is the date the advance account was requested (per the completed Advance Account Request form). If the INCREMENT_STATUS is ‘Future’, the AWARD_DATE is the date on the Notice of Award (NOA). If the INCREMENT_STATUS is ‘Awarded’, the AWARD_DATE is the date on the NOA (or, if there is no NOA, the date on the award check).

AWARD_FUND

Indexed - yes
Format - char (6)
May be null? yes
The 6-character code identifying the fund to which the increment has been assigned. A fund uniquely identifies a specific set of financial resources that needs tracking or management. Funds for sponsored projects begin with ‘5’.

AWARD_FUND is the fourth segment of the
AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.) For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_FUND is null.

As of October 14, 2003, a fund may be used by one and only one proposal (INSTITUTION_NO). A proposal whose activity ended before that date might have a fund that was used by another proposal whose activity ended before that date, but such a fund is now disabled.

AWARD_OBJECT

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes
The 4-character code that identifies an asset, liability, revenue, or expense.

AWARD_OBJECT is the fifth segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.) For awards that were active on or after July 1, 1996, AWARD_OBJECT is ‘3000’ (FUND BAL). For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_OBJECT is null.

Values:

AWARD_ORG

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes
The 4-character code for the Organization responsible for managing all of the money tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. An Organization is a subdivision of the University created for management purposes. An Organization belongs to only one responsibility center, and its Organization code is unique. That is, no two Organizations have the same value for AWARD_ORG.

AWARD_ORG is the second segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.)

For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_ORG is null. For such records, an approximation of AWARD_ORG would be the INCREMENT_RESP_ORG_CODE.

To facilitate Organization-based security, AWARD_ORG is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.

AWARD_PROGRAM

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes
The 4-character code that identifies the program using the money tracked by the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT. A program is an activity or work process commonly defined across the University so that the program's activity can be tracked across Schools and Centers (or across organizations within a school or center).

AWARD_PROGRAM is the sixth segment of the AWARD_GL_ACCOUNT, the seven-segment Accounting Flexfield assigned to the increment. (The AWARD_CNAC, AWARD_ORG, AWARD_BC, AWARD_FUND, AWARD_PROGRAM, and AWARD_CREF should always be used when posting transactions for the increment, but BEN Financials will accept postings to any combination that includes the AWARD_FUND.)
For awards that were not active July 1, 1996 and thereafter, AWARD_PROGRAM is null.

AWARDED_COST_SHR_TOTAL

Indexed - no
Format - number (13,2)
May be null? yes

The total dollar amount of cost sharing associated with the increment. Cost sharing is the amount of funding provided for the sponsored project that does not come from the sponsor. AWARDED_COST_SHR_TOTAL is the total amount of cost sharing to be provided by all cost sharing sources combined. For example, the University receives a grant for a project estimated to have a total cost of $100,000. The sponsor agrees to pay 75% ($75,000) and the University agrees to pay 25% ($25,000). The $25,000 is the cost-sharing component.

To see whether the amount entered as AWARD_COST_SHR_TOTAL applies to an advance account, an award, or an award expected in the future, see INCREMENT_STATUS.

AWARDED_COST_SHR_TOTAL is populated only for increments whose records were entered or updated since October 14, 2003. The value is null for all other records.

AWARDED_MTDC

Indexed - no
Format - number (13,2)
May be null? yes
Not currently used.

Total dollar amount designated for the modified total direct costs (MTDC) for the increment. For some awards, the indirect costs are calculated based on MTDC, a subset of direct costs, normally excluding--among other costs--equipment, patient care, space rental, alterations and renovations, and subcontract costs in excess of the first $25,000. When modified total direct costs are used, AWARDED_INDIRECT_COSTS is calculated by multiplying the MTDC by the F & A rate (indirect cost rate).

AWARDED_MTDC is populated only for increments whose records were entered or updated since October 14, 2003. The value is null for all other records.

FUND_COST_SHR_PARENT

Indexed - no
Format - char (6)
May be null? yes
If the AWARD_FUND tracks cost sharing, FUND_COST_SHR_PARENT is the 6-character code for the fund that serves as the parent (or rollup group) for similar cost sharing funds, allowing amounts to be summarized at the parent level. If the AWARD_FUND does not track cost sharing, FUND_COST_SHR_PARENT is null. (For example, if FUND_REVENUE_PARENT has a non-null value, FUND_COST_SHR_PARENT ought to be null.)

Cost sharing is the amount of funding provided for the sponsored project that does not come from the sponsor. For example, the University receives a grant for a project estimated to have a total cost of $100,000. The sponsor agrees to pay 75% ($75,000) and the University agrees to pay 25% ($25,000). The $25,000 is the cost-sharing component.

The 4-character code identifying the Organization responsible for managing all of the money tracked by the AWARD_FUND. An Organization is a subdivision of the University created for management purposes. An Organization belongs to only one responsibility center, and its Organization code is unique. That is, no two Organizations have the same value for FUND_RESPONSIBLE_ORG.

To facilitate Organization-based security, FUND_RESPONSIBLE_ORG is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.

FUND_REVENUE_PARENT

Indexed - no
Format - char (6)
May be null? yes

If the AWARD_FUND tracks funding provided by the sponsor, FUND_REVENUE_PARENT is the 6-character code for the fund that serves as the parent (or rollup group) for funds whose revenue is provided by the sponsor in the same way as for the AWARD_FUND. The FUND_REVENUE_PARENT allows amounts to be summarized at the parent level. If the AWARD_FUND does not track funding provided by the sponsor, FUND_REVENUE_PARENT is null. (For example, if FUND_COST_SHR_PARENT has a non-null value, FUND_REVENUE_PARENT ought to be null.)

For increments awarded under ARRA (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Recovery Act or the federal economic stimulus program), the FUND_REVENUE_PARENT is 'GCB009', 'LOCNIS', or 'LOCNSS'. (In the PARENT_FUND_CODES table, their PARENT_FUND is 'ARRALC'.) Because advance accounts are funded by the University (not by the sponsor), an increment in 'Advance Account' status should not have 'GCB009', 'LOCNIS', or 'LOCNSS' as its FUND_REVENUE_PARENT, but it might. Rather than using the FUND_REVENUE_PARENT to identify ARRA increments, use the ARRA_FUNDED_INCREMENT_FLAG.

May be null? yes

Column added for use in metrics reports for the Office of Research Services.

Some values may be truncated in the Warehouse.

INCREMENT_F_AND_A_RATE

Indexed - no
Format - number(5,2)
May be null? yes

The Facilities and Administration (F&A) rate associated with the increment. The value was entered by hand, and was not used by the system to calculate the AWARDED_INDIRECT_COSTS for the increment. INCREMENT_F_AND_A_RATE is null if the increment does not include indirect cost recovery.

The F&A rate (indirect cost rate) is the percentage rate used in the calculation that determines the amount of the indirect costs. Indirect costs are calculated by multiplying the indirect cost base by the F & A rate.

Indirect costs are costs that are not specific to the sponsored project, but that are incurred by the University in support of the sponsored project. (For example, utilities and laboratory space fall under indirect costs.) Indirect costs are also known as Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs or overhead.

INCREMENT_NUMBER

Indexed - yes
Format - varchar2 (40)
May be null? no

A sequence number uniquely identifying the increment within the proposal to which it applies. Each proposal (INSTITUTION_NO) that has at least one increment, has an INCREMENT_NUMBER ‘1’. The maximum INCREMENT_NUMBER for a proposal is the number of increments for that proposal.

When an amount is received, or an amount is expected to be paid in the future (per a Notice of Award), or an amount is paid by a department in expectation of an amount to be received, an increment is the portion of that amount that is assigned to a General Ledger account.

There is one PENNERA_INCREMENT record per proposal (INSTITUTION_NO or PROP_NO) per INCREMENT_NUMBER. (Though PERIOD_NUMBER is part of the physical primary key for the PENNERA_INCREMENT table, it is not part of the logical primary key for the table.)

INSTITUTION_NO

Indexed - yes
Format - char (8)
May be null? yes
The eight-digit sequence number used by the University to uniquely identify the proposal to which the increment applies. Note that the value for INSTITUTION_NO includes leading zeroes.

Records with an INSTITUTION_NO less than or equal to 05017400 were converted from the Research Services System (RSS, the system used to track proposals and awards before October 14, 2003). Other records are for proposals created in PennERA.

There are two different unique identifiers for a proposal: INSTITUTION_NO and PROP_NO. INSTITUTION_NO is used by the University. PROP_NO is used internally by the PennERA system. For a given record, INSTITUTION_NO will not have the same value as PROP_NO. While either one may be used when joining PennERA Proposals tables, INSTITUTION_NO is the one recommended for display in reports.

There is one PENNERA_INCREMENT record per proposal (INSTITUTION_NO or PROP_NO) per INCREMENT_NUMBER. (Though PERIOD_NUMBER is part of the physical primary key for the PENNERA_INCREMENT table, it is not part of the logical primary key for the table.)

PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code for the ERA primary organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the PI_PENN_ID. That is the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.

The ERA primary org. is the org. flagged as the primary department in the person’s PennERA Profile. Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the ERA primary org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

For Penn staff, the ERA primary org. is the primary (job) appointment org. For Penn faculty, it is the primary academic (job) appointment org., which will not be the same as primary appointment org. for those faculty holding administrative positions. For Penn employees whose job appointments are all on the executive payroll, ERA primary org. is ‘8000’ ('General University Special '). For Penn students, the ERA primary org. is the organizational equivalent of their home Division (for example, ‘0200’, School of Arts and Sciences.) For investigators from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), the ERA primary org. is ‘2100’ ('Health System '). For members of the research community who are otherwise not affiliated with Penn, the ERA primary org. is ‘8760' ('Research Services').

PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE reflects the ERA primary org. of the PI for the proposal, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL table.

To facilitate Organization-based security, PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.

The 2-character code for the school or center for the PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE. That identifies the ERA primary organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the PI_PENN_ID--the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.

The ERA primary org. is the org. flagged as the primary department in the person’s PennERA Profile. Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the ERA primary org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

PI_ERA_PRIMARY_SCHOOL_CODE reflects the ERA primary school of the PI for the proposal, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the PI_ERA_PRIMARY_SCHOOL_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL table.

If the PI_ERA_PRIMARY_ORG_CODE is '.', the PI_ERA_PRIMARY_SCHOOL_CODE is also '.'.

Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code for the home organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the PI_PENN_ID. That is the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.

The home org. is the org. that owns the person's employee record and is responsible for its maintenance.

PI_HOME_ORG_CODE reflects the home org. of the PI for the proposal, as it was at the time of the proposal (funding cycle). Once the funding cycle has ended, the PI_HOME_ORG_CODE is no longer updated. The dates for the funding cycle are the AWARDED_PROJECT_START and AWARDED_PROJECT_END in the PENNERA_PROPOSAL table. If the PI for the proposal has no employee information dating back to the time of the funding cycle, PI_HOME_ORG_CODE is '.'. (Because the PI_HOME_ORG_CODE is one of the data elements used to secure the data, it is set to '.' if it would otherwise be null.)

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code for the investigator organization (‘org.’) for the person identified by the PI_PENN_ID. That is the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.

Although it is used to secure certain data elements in the Data Warehouse, the investigator org. is not used by the University’s business processes.

For a given investigator associated with a proposal, the investigator org. is the org. specified (on the Office of Research Services Proposal Transmittal and Approval Form) as the 'Dept. Administering Project' (the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE). An exception to this rule is that, if the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE is neither the investigator's ERA primary org. nor an org. where the investigator has a job appointment, when the investigator's data is entered for the proposal in PennERA, the investigator org. is chosen from among those orgs., based on its being the one that is most closely related to the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE. In other words:

  • if the investigator has only one org, then that org. is chosen; otherwise,
  • if the investigator has an org. that is the same as the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE, then that org. is chosen; otherwise
  • the investigator's orgs. are sorted in ascending order, and the first org. whose org. code is greater than or equal to the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE is chosen; otherwise,
  • if the investigator has no org. whose org. code is greater than or equal to the PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE, the investigator's ERA primary org. is chosen

PI_PENN_ID

Indexed - no
Format - char (8)
May be null? yes

The Penn ID of the Principal Investigator for the proposal to which the increment applies.

The PennID is the 8-digit identification number assigned to a person by the Penn Community system. No two persons have the same PennID. However, a person may have more than one PennID. For example, say Dr. John Doe had a sponsored project in 1990, but his Social Security number was not recorded in the Research Services System (RSS, the system then used to track proposals and awards). Dr. Doe left the University after project ended. When the RSS data was converted to PennERA, there was no record in Penn Community for Dr. Doe. Because his Social Security number was not available, a PennERA-specific PennID (beginning with a ‘P’) was created for him. In 2003, Dr. Doe returned to the University, and was assigned a numeric PennID (for example, 10039706). Dr. Doe would then have two PennIDs, but one could not tell from looking at the data that both PennIDs identify the same person.

PROP_NO

Indexed - yes
Format - varchar2 (20)
May be null? no

The 10-digit sequence number used internally by the PennERA system to uniquely identify the proposal to which the increment applies. Note that the value for PROP_NO includes leading zeroes.

There are two different unique identifiers for a proposal: INSTITUTION_NO and PROP_NO. INSTITUTION_NO is used by the University. PROP_NO is used internally by the PennERA system. For a given record, INSTITUTION_NO will not have the same value as PROP_NO. While either one may be used when joining PennERA Proposals tables, INSTITUTION_NO is the one recommended for display in reports.

There is one PENNERA_INCREMENT record per proposal (INSTITUTION_NO or PROP_NO) per INCREMENT_NUMBER. (Though PERIOD_NUMBER is part of the physical primary key for the PENNERA_INCREMENT table, it is not part of the logical primary key for the table.)

Format - varchar2 (100)
May be null? yes

The identification number (if any) that is assigned to the sponsored project award by the sponsoring agency.

When an award has been split among increments (as is the case when it is tracked by multiple General Ledger accounts, for example), more than one PENNERA_INCREMENT record has the same value for SPONSOR_AWARD_ID. Also, if the sponsor uses the same identification number for all awards funding a proposal, all of the proposal's PENNERA_INCREMENT records have the same value for SPONSOR_AWARD_ID.

When SPONSOR_AWARD_ID is null or 'N/A', the sponsor has not assigned an identification number to the sponsored project award.

The sponsor may also assign an identification number to the proposal (funding cycle) for the sponsored project. See PENNERA_PROPOSAL.SPONSOR_PROJECT_AWARD_NO.

Example: 1-N01-HV-020002-000 (an identification number assigned by NIH)
