Effort Reporting

Effort Reporting is our means of providing assurance to sponsors that:

  • Salaries charged to sponsored projects are reasonable in relation to the work performed, and
  • Faculty and staff have met their commitments to sponsored projects.

This page contains relevant information about the Effort Reporting process at FIU, including training materials and pertinent announcements. Please bookmark this site and check back often as additional content will continue to be posted regularly.
