Institutional Information

The Columbia Institutional Information Sheet provides very important information in order to complete your grant application. It contains institutional information, such as the University's legal name, address, contact information, DUNS numbers and taxpayer ID numbers, that are always required when completing a grant proposal. Often this information is needed on the Proposal Face Sheet/Cover Sheet. Please note that there is different information listed for the Morningside and CUMC campuses.

Besides basic institutional information, there is pertinent information on the Sheet that you will need when preparing your budget. This includes Indirect Cost Rates, Fringe Rates, NIH Salary Cap information, GRA Cap Considerations, and other important budgetary items.
