Per OMB Circular A-21:  (It's on the web!!)

c. Other sponsored activities means programs and projects financed by Federal and non-Federal
agencies and organizations which involve the performance of work other than instruction and
organized research. Examples of such programs and projects are health service projects, and
community service programs. However, when any of these activities are undertaken by the
institution without outside support, they may be classified as other institutional activities.
