# New program_ids field in targets.simple.csv

The [`targets.simple.csv` bulk data format](/docs/bulk/csv/) now contains a new `program_ids` column that contains a list of program IDs that an entity is sanctioned under. This is part of our broader effort to link entities to sanctions policy programs under which they’ve been designated. More information on what sanctions programs are and how we represent them in our data model can be found [in our FAQ](/faq/168/programs/). For more context, see our [recently-published blog post](/articles/2025-07-09-program-mapping/).
