Update on Retiring the Effort Reporting System at UCSF

As a result of the transition to award verification, Contracts & Grants Accounting (CGA) plans to retire the Effort Reporting System and archive effort reports by June 2022. This date is an extension to the previously announced target retirement date of December 2021.

All effort reports must be certified prior to being archived. The last effort reporting certification cycle at UCSF was completed in August 2020 for the period of January 1 through May 2, 2020. CGA has been working with the appropriate contacts to complete outstanding effort reporting certifications for all previous cycles by following the established Effort Report Escalation Process.

If you have questions or concerns about the effort reporting process, the effort reporting follow-up process, or if you are uncertain about how to proceed or obtain recertification, contact Contracts & Grants Compliance.
