CFAR Definitions:

CFAR Beneficiary: An individual who receives assistance of any sort from the CFAR. Not all CFAR beneficiaries are counted as CFAR users.
CFAR Member: There is no official NIH CFAR definition of a CFAR “member.”  Each CFAR should establish its own criteria for membership in their CFAR.
CFAR User: A CFAR beneficiary who is eligible to serve as PI on any NIH funding mechanism. Only CFAR Users are counted when filling out Appendix A or each Core’s section II.A (Core Users) in the “Other Core Information Section.”
Categories: All CFAR users will fall into one or more of six categories (see table below).  All CFAR users will fall into Categories 1-4. Some CFAR users may also fall into Categories 5-6
