Effort Coordinator Forum
Daily Tips from January 2008 - Collected here,
from RSP's email messages to effort coordinators about how to handle a variety of situations.
Forms
Form for Requesting a
Delegation of the PI's Certification Authority
- When someone other than the PI has suitable means of verifying the work of
the project staff, an effort coordinator can print this form, complete it,
and send it to RSP.
Cover Sheet for Submitting
a Printed and Certified ECRT Statement
- For use when there is an ECRT effort statement but electronic certification is not possible.
This CANNOT be used as an alternative to ECRT merely for reasons of convenience.
Revised 08/26/2009
Effort Certification
Form for Individuals with No UW Payroll
- Use this form to certify if you devote effort to a sponsored project but receive no UW
payroll... and therefore have no ECRT effort statement.
