Effort Certification
The Effort Certification Reporting Technology (ECRT) System is a software tool UTPB uses to facilitate the effort certification process. 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.
