Why is effort reporting important?
Effort reporting is required to be compliant with the regulations that govern the conduct of grant and contract activities at institutions of higher education. It is the manner by which the federal government audits the commitment of effort, whether charged as a direct cost or cost shared, on the research, training, and other activities they fund. Universities have been audited and some have had to payback millions of dollars in federal award money because of a lack of effort reporting.
