The FDSR system creates a unique number for each grant by concatenating information from several fields in the SoA record that the Business Officer uploads to the system.
The grant number you enter to link your FDSR user ID to the grant will need to exactly match this unique grant number. The form of the grant number will depend on the granting agency from which you received the grant.
Each granting agency uses a different combination of fields to create the grant number. The table below illustrates how the grant number for each granting agency is created.
