How GMAS Determines Fund Type: FG, NE, or NG

GMAS Fund Ranges

There are three fund types in the sponsored fund range(100000-299999):

Federal awards (FG)                                           Fund range:100000-199999

  • All federal awards, regardless of funding mechanism

Non-Federal Exchange (NE)                            Fund range:200000-249999

  • Non-federal Contracts and Cooperative agreements

Non-Federal Grants (NG)                                Fund range: 250000-299999

  • Non-federal grants

GMAS Process: Default Fund Ranges

  • If the sponsor or prime sponsor is Federal, fund type will default to FG and cannot be changed.
  • If the sponsor and prime sponsor are both Non-federal:
    • If the agency fund flag is set to "Yes", fund type will default to NE and cannot be changed.
    • If the funding instrument is Grant or Fixed price grant, fund type will default to NG, but can be changed to NE or NG
    • If the funding instrument is Contract, Fixed price contract, or Cooperative agreement, fund type will default to NE, but can be changed to NE or NG
  • If there is a co-sponsor on the project, the fund type will default based on the rules above, but will always be editable and allow any of the three values (this is a workaround to account for any exception cases)
