Effort Reporting System
All effort reports are now being processed electronically using the web-based effort reporting system (ERS).听听
As of Sept. 2023, AV研究所 has replaced the Time and Effort Reports (T&E's) with ERS Forms which will be processed electronically using the web-based AV研究所-Maximus ERS (Effort Reporting System).听
The web-based effort reporting system is used to certify that salaries charged, or cost shared to sponsored awards, reasonably reflect the individual鈥檚 share of total effort dedicated to a sponsored award.
AV研究所-OSP issued the Effort Reporting Policy in 2009. The purpose of this policy is to document university requirements for ensuring that salaries charged to sponsored awards are based on the records that reasonably reflect the work performed; effort and salary costs charged to a sponsored award are certified by an award's Principal Investigator (PI) accurately and timely; and effort certifications comply with sponsor requirements, any听 regulations (Federal or otherwise), and AV研究所 policies. The听听was most recently revised Sept. 2023.
