Manage Project

Effort

• Effort refers to the amount of time that an employee devotes to a project, as a portion of 100% of University effort. Sponsors may require effort committed at time of proposal to be maintained throughout the life of the award within certain parameters. These parameters will be described by each sponsor or award. Baylor requires effort to be confirmed on a semester basis in accordance with the effort policy.

Cost transfers

• Occasionally, cost transfers are needed to correct costing allocations. They are subject to audit scrutiny and are governed by Baylor's cost transfer policy. Cost transfers are initiated by your URA.
