Effort Training
EFFORT TRAINING |
UD's research enterprise depends on funding from federal and state
agencies, private foundations, organizations, and industry. The University's
electronic Effort
Certification Process (ECP) is
the principal means of verifying that salaries and wages charged to or contributed
to a sponsored project are fulfilled in a manner consistent with the award
documentation and compliant with the federal regulations for which the University
is held accountable.
If you need assistance in identifying your effort administrator, please see
the Department Administrator Directory within our Staff
Directory. To
learn more about administering the effort certification process in your department,
check out these training opportunities.
