What is cost-sharing?
Cost-sharing is the commitment of university resources to support part of the costs of a sponsored project. It may take the form of release time (faculty salary and fringe benefits) to engage in the project, the purchase of supplies and equipment, or the acceptance of a lower reimbursement for indirect costs. The amount required and types of costs that are eligible for cost-sharing vary among sponsors and grant programs. Cost-sharing is either mandatory or voluntary. When ORSP signs off on a proposal, the source of the funds to be used for cost-sharing must be clearly indicated on the internal routing coversheet.
