CFDA Batch

One of the KFS-Streamlyne Research integration points allows for the running of a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) batch job in Streamlyne Research to ensure this Streamlyne Research reference table has the most up-to-date data available from the authoritative source at cfda.org. This functionality used to be a part of KFS, but it is now a part of Streamlyne Research, making Streamlyne Research the system of record for CFDA number selection.

The CFDA # validations are a part of Streamlyne Research now instead of KFS, and there is a new CFDA maintenance document that is populated from a batch job to call and get valid values from CFDA to populate the table. These are associated with the Award and thus the account. This batch job functionality ensures the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) table in Streamlyne Research is automatically updated with data from the cfda.gov website so that the CFDA values available for selection on a Streamlyne Research Award document are valid.

The KFS-Streamlyne Research integration point that allows for the running of a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) batch job in Streamlyne Research ensures the CFDA table in Streamlyne Research is automatically updated with data from the cfda.gov website so that the CFDA values available for selection on a Streamlyne Research Award document are valid. This functionality includes the following features:

• The CFDA lookup on the KFS Account maintenance document points to the Streamlyne Research CFDA table.

• The CFDA Batch Job (cfdaBatchStep) allows for standard CFDA numbers to be populated by an automated batch program (CFDA maintenance type = AUTOMATIC), OR by the CFDA maintenance document (CFDA maintenance type = MANUAL).

• When a KFS Account is created from a Streamlyne Research Award, the CFDA number is carried forward.

Key Concepts: While the CFDA number is validated on the Award document, it remains a “free-form” entry field that is not validated on the Proposal Development document in Streamlyne Research. KFS retains the ability to assign CFDA numbers on accounts that are not associated with Streamlyne Research Awards (important for institutions who implement KFS, but not Streamlyne Research).
