Time and Effort Compliance

ULM’s new online T&E reporting system aids all ULM employed individuals involved on a sponsored program/externally funded grant or project to complete their effort certifications. The new online reporting system provides information about effort for the time frame of an entire year.

•WHO:

1. The Principal Investigator (PI) has the responsibility to be the first to approve a report inclusive of all faculty/staff/student/employee’s effort as proposed on their grant project.

2. The Principal Investigator (PI) has the responsibility to complete the T&E forms for all student/GA/casual wage persons. This online T&E form is different than the ULM PI/faculty/staff persons form. This form is not populated with grant/project details. (Students/GA/casual wage individuals will not need to take any action to report effort.)

3. Each  PI and ULM faculty/staff person is responsible for affirming their effort conducted on all externally funded grant/projects on their individual T&E Report form. For your individualized report, the grant/project(s) effort information (Section A and/or B) has been entered by OSPR and approved by the PI(s). You will complete Section C of the report and submit.

•Note: If a faculty or staff employee is no longer working at ULM, it is the responsibility of the PI or Dean’s Office to aid OSPR in completing their form.

   •Additional note: contractors, subawardees or non-directly paid personnel through ULM’s payroll department do not complete a ULM T&E Report. These personnel are subject to T&E reporting as required by their establishments.

 

•WHEN:

• If you actively worked on an externally funded grant/project during the time frame of:
January 1 to December 31, 2015

•PI’s first complete the T&E report inclusive of all ULM personnel (due between March 18 to March 31)

•All other grant/project personnel complete the individual (PI and ULM faculty/staff person) and/or student/GA/casual wage T&E forms - (due between April 1 to April 8)
