To the UMBC Grant Community,

This is a reminder that Effort Reports for Spring 2022 are available and ready for certification. The Spring 2022 period includes Payroll 2022-015 through Payroll 2022-026 (from January 02, 2022 through June 18, 2022). Certifications are due September 30, 2022.

Please remember that Effort Reports are both a Compliance Tool and a Grants Management Tool. After reviewing payroll charges, work with your business managers if any changes are needed. Payroll cost transfers (retros) must be processed prior to certification of Effort Reports.

To find out whether you have open effort reports for Spring 2022 (see page 6, Year: 2022 Period: Spring) and to learn how to certify them, see the attached Effort Report Quick Reference Guide with screenshots for your convenience. This guide provides instructions on how to access the Effort Reports. If you are new to Effort Report certifications, please see page 10, #1 for information on how to gain certification access.
