How to ensure accurate data for effort certification…make your life
easier!
Meeting ObjectivesMeeting Objectives• Introduction to the web process• How do we employ the transactions to do
the work for us?– Proposal submission data awarded effort – ProjectID Chartfield– Journal Vouchers– LAM
• The live process
AssumptionsAssumptions• You have attended the Effort certification
training session
• You are knowledgeable about your faculty workload policy
• You are, or you will work closely with, the effort administrator in your unit (GMQ_DEPT_EFFORT_ADMIN)
Web ProcessWeb Process• Web-enabled process effective March 1, 2005
• All certification and adjustments will be handled electronically
• 2 effort periods– September – February– March – August
• Summer months in same effort period
Web ProcessWeb Process• Effort administrators will receive
notification of release on or about 3/15/05 and then every 6 months thereafter
• Certifications should be routed promptly and must be completed in 60 days
Let’s see it!Let’s see it!

• Not needed if within 5% variance
• Recalculate upon ‘refresh’
Effort JournalsEffort Journals• UD WebForms FINJournal Voucher
– restricts users from submitting a journal for a ‘closed’ effort period
– Forces the use of the effort certification process to manage these corrections
– ‘closed’ effort periods are restricted
• ‘Open’ effort period cost transfers can be handled on the UD WebForms FINJournal
Effort JournalsEffort Journals• Journals processed for transactions Prior
to PS data (July 1, 2002) will be handled a bit differently– Pull down menu “Prior to PS”– Routes to OVPR for approval– Requires revised paper SAR
Admin View (approval)Admin View (approval)
ApprovalApproval• TWO (2) “review and certify” are
necessary to complete the process– Effort admin reviews and certifies accuracy
and forwards to employee– Employee reviews and certifies
• IF employee is no longer at UD, then effort admin can select “certify for former employee”

Maintaining Good DataMaintaining Good Data
Employing the transactions to do the work for you
Where does the data live?Where does the data live?• Proposed effort is added to the proposal
budget at submission stage in the Grants System by department administrators
• Committed effort is added to the award budget screens in the Grants System by OVPR staff
• All the data from the pay transactions and any Journal is captured in the UOD_Trans_DTL table
Proposed EffortProposed EffortEffort is
proposedSalary is charged
Proposal stageProposal stage• Data is added to the detail budget screens in UD
Grants System for all UD employee whether PI, Co-PI or senior personnel, listed as resources on your grant proposal
• Data should include effort percent and whether it is a summer month(s)
• Data inputted at the proposal budget can be queried in GMQ_EFFORT_BY_PI_PROPOSED

Project Chart FieldProject Chart Field• Speedtypes include inherited chart fields
• ProjectID is auto-included with grants and contracts
• Include ProjectID on non C & G speedtype transactions to relate the transaction to the award (grant or contract)
Labor Allocation Module (LAM)Labor Allocation Module (LAM)
• Use the LAM to discern workload
• Use the LAM to delineate the research workload portion into grant related effort and match
• LAM is per pay
• LAM Percentages remain in effect until changed

How much to commit for whom and when???
Effort PercentagesEffort Percentages
• Effort entries in your project budget on the personnel-salary and benefits detail page are used for faculty work loads
• The minimum amount of effort allocated to a project allowed is 1% for each of the key personnel listed on the proposal (or the minimum required by the program if greater than 1%)
• The vast majority of project budgets are for one (1) year. Regardless of what type of appointment (9 month, 10 month, or 11 month) held by a faculty member, the base for calculation of effort is one year (12 months).
Effort PercentagesEffort Percentages
• On the most basic level, efforts are calculated as follows for a typical 9 month faculty member with 3 months of summer research:– 1 month = 1/12 = 8% effort– 2 months = 2/12 = 17% effort– 3 months = 3/12 = 25% effort
• For portions of a month, use the decimal equivalent of the fraction (or the percent ) of the month and divide by 12 – ½ month = 50% of month = .5, so 0.5/12 = 4% effort– ¼ month = 25 % of month = .25, so 0.25/12 = 2% effort– 1/3 month = 33% of month = .33, so 0.33/12 = 3% effort
Effort CalculationsEffort Calculations
Or…50 ways to calculate one month
Workload ExampleWorkload Example• Dr. Dots has a workload that combines teaching
and research
• Dr. Dots has a 9 month academic year faculty appointment
• Dr.Dots teaches 3 courses in the first semester and 2 in the second semester
• Each course is 3 credits
CBA 11.9CBA 11.912 credit contact hours or 18 teaching contact hours per week per semester constitutes a 100% workload for the semester for the academic year. Assignment of a workload of other credit-contact hours per week or teaching contact hours per week per semester will be prorated as a percentage of workload for the semester, e.g. 9 credit-contact hours per week per semester constitutes a 75% workload for the semester for the academic year; 6 credit-contact hours per week per semester constitutes a 50% workload for the semester for the academic year; 3 credit-contact hours per week per semester constitutes a 25% workload for the semester for the academic year.

Dr. Dots ExampleDr. Dots Example• Dr. Dots has agreed to
spend – 60% of his time (effort)
performing research related activities,
– 30% of his time providing instruction through teaching or advisement of students and
– 10% of his time providing service to the public or the institution.
• The total workload needs to total 100%.

Tips and HintsTips and Hints
Tips & HintsTips & Hints• Always LOGOUT before ending your
session– This allows a refresh at next log on which will
enable any changes to be viewable• Be VERY careful where you send screens
– This is salary data and in the wrong hands could be embarrassing
– OVPR can redirect to the correct user – Once the WRONG recipient has received it,
that person will ALWAYS be able to view it even if redirected
Tips & HintsTips & Hints• Must refresh after a journal is processed to
see the recalculated amounts
• Use standard udel.edu email addresses, not secondary email servers (ee.udel.edu)
SummarySummary• New process starts March 1, 2005
• Use tools available to maintain accurate data– Use Project Chart Field to delineate cost share and
direct sponsor charges
• Reduce cost transfers and other corrections through attentive discussions with faculty about effort
