Each year UC Berkeley receives substantial contract and grant support for research, education, and public service projects from federal and state agencies, foreign governments, foundations and other nonprofit organizations, industry sponsors, and other private sources. In fiscal year 2004, the campus received 1,422 new awards and over $584 million in funding.

Award information is captured in two ways: by project periods (the total amount of the award) and by budget periods (the amounts of the individual budget periods). Budget period funding data is captured for all years of an award, which includes future years. In fiscal year 2004, the campus received $497.7 million in budget period funding, lower than project period funding of $584.8 million.
