Activity Type Descriptions

Use scroll bar at right to scroll through all the activity type descriptions.

Research-basic: Experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view.

Research-applied: Original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective.

Research-developmental: Systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to improving existing products or processes.
Instruction: Sponsored teaching or training work, or departmental research (e.g., curriculum development or evaluation) where participants are at least in part OSU students or employees.

Extension/Outreach: Programs and projects which involve the performance of work other than instruction and research. Extension is used to identify programs that are not research but programs where knowledge, expertise, and solutions are provided to the public as being supported by a grant, contract, or other award type. Outreach (also called public service) is used to identify specific activity supported by a grant, contract, or other award type where services are being provided to populations who might not otherwise have access to those services. Outreach has an educational role by raising awareness of existing services.

Equipment: Use when external funding is provided primarily for purchasing equipment.

Fellowship: Use when the funding opportunity is a graduate fellowship where funding will primarily support the activity of a graduate student.

Training: Sponsored teaching or training work where participants are not OSU students or employees.

Financial Aid: Funds from federal or state sources that are given to students to help pay for college; funds are typically given to students based on their financial need.
