Cost Sharing Information
Ä¢¹½tv's policy on cost sharing and matching on sponsored projects is FASOP AS-06.
The Office of Research & Economic Development has developed a standardized form, Request for Approval of Cost Sharing or Indirect Cost Waiver, to request approval for Cost Sharing. This form should be completed, signed, and attached in GeauxGrants on the Ä¢¹½tv Questionnaire.
Required Committed Cost Sharing
Some funding programs require proposals to include a commitment from the proposing institution in the form of required committed cost sharing. When this is the case, the Office of Research & Economic Development can be consulted to determine if cost sharing resources are available. The following guidelines should be followed when developing a plan to fulfill the required cost sharing element of a program submission:
- Proposers should consult with ORED as far before the submission deadline as possible on potential contributions to the cost sharing plan.
- Proposers should make every effort to secure commitments from their units and colleges to contribute to the cost sharing plan prior to coordinating with ORED.
- In the event of multiple submissions from Ä¢¹½tv to a program with required committed cost sharing stipulations, resource commitments from ORED will be made on a first come, first served basis due to the limited resources available for such programs. Hence, establishing dialogue on this matter as early as possible is essential.
