  • 22 - Individual or Project Research (Organized Research - RE)
    • The pursuit of new knowledge that is new to the academic community rather than to the individual conducting the "research." These activities break new ground within the academic community (and not merely for the practitioner or student), and might result in publication in a scientific journal. These research activities are separately budgeted and accounted for, have a stated goal or purpose, projected research outcomes, and are generally created for a specific time period under a contract or grant.
    • Individual or Project Research is separately budgeted and accounted for through the 110 budget purpose of UNC's financial system.
    • Sponsored research administration units should use Program Code 69 - Sponsored Projects Administration, departmental, administration units, should use Program Code 46 - Academic Administration. Research training projects should use Program Code 26 - Research Training.

30 - Public Service

  • 31 - Direct Patient Care-institutional (Other Institutional Activities - OI)
    • Non-sponsored clinical activities carried out for the specific purpose of providing patient care (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, education, rehabilitation, etc.). More directly, this program code includes spaces where patients actually are, such as treatment rooms, patient bedroom, or surgery. Offices may sometimes apply if they are used directly in the diagnosis of patients' illnesses. In the post-secondary education setting, these services are typically rendered under the auspices of a teaching hospital or health-sciences center, and are provided for the benefit of a clientele in the community-at-large rather than for the university's own student body or faculty and staff.
    • Patient-care activities carried out solely for the benefit of the university's students or faculty and staff should be classified program 57 - Student Health/Medical Services.
    • Patient care activities supported by a sponsored agreement should be classified program 81 - Sponsored Direct Patient Care.

Community service activities are managed within the academic departments, or elsewhere within the school, and have been established to provide general public services to the community at large or special sectors within the community.
    • Community Service activities differ from Cooperative Extension Services (classified program 34), in that they are generally sponsored and controlled by the institution; whereas, cooperative extension services usually involve a sharing of programmatic and fiscal control with an outside agency.
    • Community service is concerned with making faculty/staff/student knowledge and skills available to the community or groups external to the institution.
    • Examples of community service activities may be consulting with businesses, public school systems, local government agencies; provisions of coaching for community summer camp, etc.
    • Community service accounts are generally coded with a 142 purpose code in the UNC accounting system.
    • Community Service supported by a sponsored agreement should be classified as program 83 - Sponsored Community Service.

    Return to Top

  • 34 - Cooperative Extension Services (Other Institutional Activities - OI)
    • Non-sponsored activities that make resources, services, and expertise available to the public that are conducted as cooperative efforts with outside agencies.
    • Excluded from this program are those instructional and research activities offered through an extension division.

  • 36 - Clinical Trials- (Other Sponsored Activities - OS)
    • Space associated with industry-sponsored agreements for research involving drugs, devices, or compounds utilizing human subjects.
    • Human volunteers are used to test the safety and/or efficacy of new pharmaceuticals, medical devices, products, or treatments. In addition, animals and human subjects are used to determine whether a drug, device, or compound is effective or dangerous. If the drug is determined to be safe and effective, an analysis of the effectiveness of the drug is performed on human subjects through sponsored agreements to determine the percentage of patients that benefit from the drug vs. the subjects which do not benefit.
    • Federally sponsored clinical trials should use Program Codes 21 - Institutes and Research Centers or Program Code 22 - Individual or Project Research.

40 - Academic Support

  • 41 - Library Services (Library Services - LI)

To be included in this program, library services should be separately funded and part of the campus library network. This program code is reserved for the main supporting libraries of the University. Therefore, the purchase of books by a department from its general funds would not be classified with this code even though a "departmental library" is produced. Relatively small and minor reference areas such as this operating outside the network is excluded from this category and coded 46 - Academic Administration. Typically library services accounts are coded with a 151 purpose code in UNC CharlotteH's accounting system.

  • 43 - Educational Media Services (Departmental Administration - DA)
    • Space devoted to making instructional aids for radio, television, or any other audio-visual medium that have been established to provide direct support for the university's instruction, research, and public service programs. This program includes only those activities intended to provide or make available media services.

    • Examples: Computing Operation/Production-data entry, production control, computer operations, data librarian, Computer System Support-development of operating systems, language compilers, generalized software packages, special systems for general use.
    • Except in the case of study rooms above, this program code's use should be limited to central computer rooms, such as ATN, which support a wider networking of computers and are dedicated to the programming and user services of academic programs (similar to AIS that support general administrative operations) not rooms with one or two computer workstations.
    • If the computer system service area supports general administrative operations, such as AIS, use code 64 - Administrative Computing Support.
    • Additionally, computer support operations that charge a fee for services (recharge centers) should use Program Code 45 - Ancillary Support Centers

    Return to Top

  • 45 - Ancillary Support (Service Centers - SC)
    • Activities that contribute to the way the University carries out its primary programs, but cannot be related enough to be assigned directly to a primary mission or support program code. Ancillary support activities more or less provide a mechanism through which the university's mission is accomplished. This program code should be used only in rare circumstances.
    • This code should not be used for small service rooms such as a projection room that supports a single classroom which should reflect coding similar to the classroom. It should be used for more centralized types of support centers within departments that serve a broad area. Some of these type rooms may be referred to as a recharge center and charge a fee for services.
    • Larger self supporting support centers such as AIS or Printing and Duplicating departments should be coded in accordance with the activities that are being performed (i.e., 44 - Academic Computing Support, 46 - Academic Administration, 64 - Administrative Computing Support, 63 - General Administration and Logistical Services, 22 - Individual or Project Research)
    • Research support service centers that support research under the financial and compliance oversight of the Office of Sponsored Research should use Program Code 49 - Research Support Service

    • Examples: professional meetings, publishing, recitals, in-service faculty-education programs, sabbaticals, faculty-development programs, monetary awards, faculty awards, awards banquets
    • Examples might also include offices responsible for arranging faculty sabbaticals or offices which focus on evaluating faculty through student surveys. Most of the activities mentioned are conducted by people with other primary responsibilities and thus Program Code assignments which results in the 46 - Academic Administration code, in most cases, being appropriate.

    Return to Top
