What Do I Enter for the Congressional District on a Foreign Institution?
When preparing a proposal where the Performance Site is a foreign institution, the Congressional District may be a bit confusing.
Onscreen help does exist in if you hover your mouse over the Congressional District field in the Performance Site screen. After a second or two, a pop-up window will appear like the one shown below:
The instructions (shown inside the red box above) explain that if the institution is outside of the U.S, you should enter 00-000 in the Congressional District field. The Zip Code, on the other hand, can be left blank when the country selected is neither the U.S. nor Canada. When Canada is selected along with a province, then Zip Code is optional.
Please note: There is also help text included for entering a single congressional district, all congressional districts within a single state, or all congressional districts nationwide.
