Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance – CFDA Number



Assistance Listing Number - ALN

Formerly: Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance – CFDA Number

An ALN number is a five-digit number assigned in the awarding document to most grants and cooperative agreements funded by the Federal government. It even applies to funds the Federal government awards to another entity and then that entity issues a sub-agreement to Purdue. It does not apply to Federal contracts and purchase orders or Non-Federal agreements where no Federal pass-through funds have been included.

This is a required field for all Federal or pass-through Federal funding as outlined in the new OMB Guidance 2 CFR 200. Reference sections 200.202; 200.302; 200.331; 200.510 and 200.516.

The assignment of the first two digits of the ALN reflects the major Federal agency as designated below: Note, these are the ones most used at Purdue. If you find one that is designated differently, please discuss with the SPS Business Analyst.
