Your project account number will be provided to you in an account code letter generated by Corporate Finance Research and/or the Research Grants Administration and Funding Office (for ARC, NHMRC, and University of Sydney grants).

Account numbers always comprise a project code and a responsibility centre.

Project Code: This single alpha and  4-digit numeric code identifies the source and category of research funding. For example ARC awards have a project code commencing with ‘A’, NHMRC commence with ‘N’, University of Sydney ‘U’, other research grants ‘R’, research donations ‘D1’, research bequests ‘B3’.
Responsibility Centre: This alpha (x1) numeric (x4) code designates the faculty of the first-named researcher. Each faculty has a responsibility centre starting with a different number.
