The NSF FOS Code contains three digits and is assigned only to expense accounts whose HEFC is for organized research.
The code identifies the subject of study (e.g., 013 represents Civil Engineering and 042 represents Computer Sciences). The codes are defined by the National Science Foundation and are reported annually.
