Effort Reporting at UTHealth

Effort Reporting Calendar

For faculty, academic staff, graduate assistants, postdoctoral researchers, service professionals, and all other exempt employees:

Reporting Period	Pre-Review Period	Certification Period
January 1st - June 30th	July 5th - July 18th	July 19th - August 19th
July 1st - December 31st	January 5th - January 18th	January 19th - February 19th

* Note: if any of the above dates falls on a weekend, the action will occur the next business day
 

Prompt review, certification, and correction of an employee’s sponsored project effort on a project are essential.

Certification will be done twice a year to cover the periods from January-June and July-December.  When effort certification period becomes available, the appropriate staff will be notified and will have 30 days to complete the effort certification card.

The new ECRT technology is designed to help faculty and staff undertaking sponsored projects comply with the provisions of UT Health, UT System, and federal policies that govern the need to provide certification of an individual's total effort including his/her sponsored and non-sponsored activities.
