A CFDA number — now officially called an Assistance Listing Number — is a five-digit code (e.g. 93.243) that identifies a federal assistance program in the catalog maintained on SAM.gov. Each grant opportunity on Grants.gov is tied to one of these listings, so the number lets you trace a grant back to the program that funds it, its history and its rules.
