To the UMBC Sponsored Award Community,

Thanks to those of you who have completed your Effort Report Certifications!

This is a reminder that Effort Reports for Spring 2024 are due no later than Monday, September 30, 2024.

The Spring 2024 period includes Payroll 2024-015 through Payroll 2024-027 (from December 31, 2023 through June 29, 2024).

Effort Reports are both a Compliance Tool and a Grants Management Tool. Late effort reports are deemed out of compliance with federal regulations and UMBC procedures.

To find out whether you have open effort reports for Spring 2024 (see page 6, Year: 2024 Period: Spring) and to learn how to certify them, see the attached Effort Report Quick Guide with screenshots for your convenience.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO Effort Report Certifications: see page 12, #1 in the Quick Guide for information on how to gain certification access. You will not be able to certify without proper access in PeopleSoft.

IF THE PI ON THE PROJECT IS NOT AVAILABLE to certify due to termination, sabbatical, etc. see page 12, #2 in the Quick Guide for instructions. Requests must come directly from the department chair/dean/director.

Your timely commitment to this process is appreciated.
