HelpService Catalog: Effort Reporting System (ERS)
Service Description
Effort reporting is a federal requirement to certify the effort of all employees who work on federally-funded research grants and contracts. The Effort Reporting System is an online, web-based system that replaces the 25-year-old outdated, paper PAR process. A detailed explanation about effort reporting policies and requirements can be found in the UCSF Intro to Effort Reporting.
