UW Cost Sharing (Non-Personnel)

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.

UW cost sharing refers to non-personnel (non-salary) amounts committed by any UW unit.  Personnel (salary) cost sharing is entered on the Personnel screen and displayed separately by SAGE. 

In addition to entering cost share data on the eGC1, the Cost Share Addendum Form must be completed and submitted to OSP at the time the application is reviewed.
