Welcome back to MicroLearning Mondays, our biweekly series of bite-sized research administration trainings brought to you by the Department of Contracts and Grants.
This week’s topic: Determining Activity Types
Why It Matters:
Identifying and categorizing the type of activity your PI’s proposal supports is vital. Whether it’s research, instruction, equipment, or fellowships, choosing the correct activity type isn’t just a formality—it drives how your proposal is reviewed, how costs are allocated, and what institutional policies apply. A misclassified activity can delay processing or lead to compliance issues down the road.
In This Video, You’ll Learn:
- How to determine the correct activity type during proposal development.
- Why differentiating activity types is vital in proposal preparation.
- Common activity type categories and what distinguishes them.
