If an award is funded at an amount less than what was proposed, do I still need to meet the levels of effort commitment proposed in the original proposal submission?
Yes. However, if the awarded amount has been reduced there may be a reduction of scope which would change the original proposed effort on the project. In these situations it may be reasonable to negotiate a lower level of effort than what was originally proposed. The Sponsored Projects Office can assist in necessary negotiations with the sponsor to appropriately amend the proposed level of effort originally committed to the project.
