Third Party Cost Sharing

General Information

Cost sharing occurs when an application commits allowable expenses (i.e., personnel, tuition, equipment or services) for which the research grant will not be charged.  These costs must be charged to an alternate source (UW or third party); all sources must be identified and must agree (via the eGC1 approval process) to commit the necessary funds.  For more information, see the GCA Cost Sharing Page or the Cost Sharing Policy.

Third party cost sharing is an amount committed by a non-UW source.  For each contribution, enter appropriate information in this table and attach a letter of commitment from the third party source.
