Match represents that portion of allowable project or program costs not borne by the sponsoring agency. When is a 8XXXXX DCC needed?
• The university has committed direct costs to an award, and the costs need to be tracked (including another department‘s commitments). (With exceptions, see below) A DCC is not needed when: • Match is from a 3 rd party outside of the University • Only waived F&A is being used as match • Voluntary work • Third party In-kind Services Always need match certification during the life of, and at the end of the project, on letterhead and signed, stating what they did and the value of their service. Ideally, third party match should be certified either with the monthly invoice, or no greater than quarterly.
