If you fail to cover all your costs, your department could end up footing the bill.

Properly accounting for cost sharing at the proposal phase can be a challenge for most Principal Investigators and often leads to the following questions: What is cost sharing? Why should PIs care about cost sharing during the proposal phase?

Once your commitment is made, the sponsor expects you to abide by those commitments

Principal Investigators Association has teamed with Sandra Nordahl and Jennie Amison, both of San Diego State University Research Foundation, to walk you though the definition of cost sharing, mandatory vs. voluntary cost sharing, and the types of documentation are sufficient.

You will dig into which costs are better than others for institutions and how cost-sharing affects the project once it is awarded. PLUS, get an example of an institution’s cost-sharing policy and procedure.
