Welcome to the UTPB effort reporting website. Effort reporting is a process mandated by the federal government to verify that direct labor charges to, or cost shared on, sponsored projects are accurate, timely, and reflect the actual level of work performed.
This site provides both general information on effort concepts as well as specific information on effort reporting and certification procedures.
