Today's Tip: Participant Support Costs, Part 2 of 3 Specific types of PCOSTS
ALLOWABLE PARTICIPANT SUPPORT COSTS

Stipend. A stipend is a set amount paid to the participant to be used in connection with training. 

Subsistence allowance. A subsistence allowance is a predetermined amount to be used to help offset housing or subsistence expenses during the period of the training. The cost of a participant’s housing and per diem expenses must be necessary and reasonable for the individual to participate in the training. It should be noted that participants who live in the area local to the training are not entitled to subsistence payments. They can however, participate in the meals and snacks provided at the meeting or conference. 

Travel. Travel includes the actual costs of transportation, lodging, meals and associated expenses to and from the training location. These costs must follow sponsor guidelines as well as UMBC travel guidelines. The sole purpose of the trip must be to participate in the training.

Fees. The fees paid by a participant or on behalf of a participant in connection with training. These fees could include event registration fees, laboratory fees related to participant training, and passport or visa fees for foreign participants. 

Other. Other costs not listed above should be specifically allowable per the funding solicitation and identified in the approved sponsor budget. These costs are paid to or on behalf of the participant and should be required for their involvement in the training. ]]> ALLOWABLE PARTICIPANT SUPPORT COSTS Stipend.

Participant support costs are direct costs for items such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences or training projects. These costs require prior agency approval.  In addition, these costs must be excluded when calculating the Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) to determine the overall project’s F&A costs. 

Participant is defined as an individual who is the recipient of a service or training provided at a workshop, conference, seminar, symposium or other short-term instructional or information sharing activity funded by a sponsored project. University employees may not be participants. 

Because Participant Support Costs must be accounted for separately, the Office of Contract and Grant Accounting (OCGA) will establish a separate project to account for the participant support cost portion of the award. 

The PI is required to obtain documentation to substantiate participant support costs. 

Examples of this documentation may include:
Stipend
        Written agreement prior to program stating the amount of the stipend
        Stipend rates must be consistently applied across the program and pro-
             rated where appropriate
Subsistence
        Payments should be documented in the same manner as stipends
        Reimbursements require the submission of receipts or a previously agreed-
             upon per diem
Program Completion
        Documentation is required indicating successful program completion
        Classes or workshops require records indicating program attendance such
             as sign-in sheets or record of ID being swiped

Per 2 CFR 200 (Appendix III C.7) the negotiated rate in effect at the time of the initial award must be used through the life of the Federal award.  The F&A implementation memo has been updated to clarify this Uniform Guidance requirement.

So what does that mean for multi-year proposal budgets and existing awards?

*  There is no need to include award F&A budget escalations for out years on multi-year proposals.  Use the F&A rate in effect for all years of the budget.

*  OCGA will inactivate previously created projects to account for the escalation change.  Inactivation of these projects will begin next week and the individual departments notified once the project has been inactivated.

* Revised budgets for existing awards will not be needed.

The revised, full F&A implementation memo can be found on Cost Accounting's site:  https://financialservices.umbc.edu/1226-2/

Please contact your assigned OCGA grant accountant if there are any questions.

CLOSEOUT To ensure compliance with sponsored award established fiscal deadlines, OCGA requests a final expenditure certification from the PI or designee at least 15 days prior to the required submission date of the final financial report/invoice. 

For example:

Final Financial Invoice/Report due to sponsor after end of award period Final Financial Certification due to OCGA after end of award period
30 days
15 days
60 days
45 days
90 days
75 days

Certification may be in the form of an email or via the Final Expenditure Certification Template for Departments on OCGA’s website. Many interim technical reports also require financial data. Coordinate with the assigned OCGA grant accountant to obtain this financial information.

NO-COST EXTENSIONS

The award agreement issued by the sponsor establishes a project timeline, creates a schedule for the submission of reports and other deliverables, and states a project end-date. If a project will not be completed by the end-date indicated on the agreement, then an extension request must be completed.
Principal Investigators should work with OSP when making an extension request. If an extension is not requested, the University could be in breach of the agreement, which increases the risk of nonpayment or the potential for a lawsuit.

A no-cost extension offers an additional period of performance to complete the project and file reports, without the provision of additional funding by the sponsor. Requests for extensions must be submitted far enough in advance to allow processing prior to the original termination date of the project. The procedures used to request a no-cost extension vary depending upon the type of award and the sponsor.

Federal
For most Federally-funded grants, but not contracts, UMBC is permitted to approve a single, i.e., once during the life of a grant, no- cost extension. The no-cost extension is for a period not to exceed 12 months beyond the termination date of the grant. Since not all Federal sponsors have delegated the authority to institutions to grant no-cost extensions, Principal Investigators should work with OSP when making an extension request.

Every request for a no-cost extension, regardless of the funding agency, must be submitted to OSP prior to the termination date of the award and must provide the following information:
    -Summary of progress-to-date regarding the work of the project
    -Summary of the work to be completed during the extension period
    -Justification for the extension, including a description of why the project could not be finished in the planned amount of time
    -An estimate of the funds remaining in the project (both direct and F&A)
    -A description regarding the manner in which those funds will be spent during the extension

Non-Federal
For sponsors other than Federal agencies, contact OSP to determine if extensions are allowed.

Reminder About No-Cost Extensions
Sponsoring agencies do not permit no-cost extensions solely for the purpose of spending the funds remaining in an award. All no-cost extensions require genuine programmatic justification.

The SPAT training "Establishing the Award" scheduled for tomorrow 01/18/2019 is cancelled. 

With many area school systems cancelling evening/afternoon activities due to potential weather, and the possibility for delayed school openings tomorrow, I believe it best to cancel tomorrow.

Once the reschedule date is determined, current registrants will be given priority to sign up. If the reschedule date does not fit into your schedule, feel free to contact me and we can arrange for a smaller group training.

I apologize for any inconvenience.
