Effort Certification Effort certification must be done monthly for all grants to which salary is charged or committed. Certification is done online, and must be completed within 15 days after the end of each month. The University complies with Uniform Guidance requirements for effort certification. All personnel who are committed to work on grants as per the grant agreement and/or the grant budget must be certified after each month that the work has been performed (or if not, initiate a salary reallocation so that the grant financial reports reflect actual work done on the grant). Certification is done monthly, and includes both full time and part time employees as well as cost share portions.
