Effort Reporting

The purpose of effort reporting is to provide a reasonable basis for distributing salary charges among direct and non-sponsored activities. Adherence to our Effort Reporting Policy ensures that efforts are:

• Appropriately documented;
• Certified by authorized personnel in a timely manner;
• Certifications comply with sponsor requirements and federal regulations; and
• Based on reasonable project expenditures, with respect to salaries and wages.
