Utah Valley University (UVU) is subject to the Code of Federal Regulations 2 CFR 200.301 that requires UVU to monitor subrecipients of federal awards to determine their compliance with federal requirements. The subrecipients need to have expenditures exceeding $750,000. Accordingly, UVU requires its subrecipients to complete this form as part of its Subpart F – Audit Requirements subrecipient monitoring process.
All subrecipients must complete this form when submitting a proposal to Utah Valley University (UVU) and once a year thereafter. It provides a checklist of documents and certifications required by sponsors, as well as an area for the authorized institutional representative to sign.
A Change of Principal Investigator (PI) Form should be completed to inform the agency and make the institutional change if a PI leaves UVU or is no longer working for the institution.
Each investigator shall fill out this disclosure statement in order to disclose any potential conflicts. The purpose of the UVU policy on Conflicts of Interest(see UVU Policy #114) is to establish standards and procedures to be followed by UVU to identify, manage, reduce or eliminate any conflicts of the PI/PD responsible for the research or project which could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the externally-funded research or project.
Each PI/PD must submit a separate Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement for every proposal that is submitted. If a proposal is awarded by the sponsor, the PI/PD will complete a new Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement for that award.
The definitions below shall be followed in completing this form.
The term does not include:
If the proposal is awarded by the sponsor, the PI/PD is responsible to verify that every person who is substantively responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of the activities in the award has completed a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement and submitted it to OSP (the OSP Director of Post-Award Services can provide direction in completing this form).
The Statement of Work (SOW), also known as the Scope of Work describes all essential and technical requirements for the effort to be performed, including standards to determine whether the requirements have been met. The submitted proposal, with any pre-award revisions, should be the basis for the SOW. A detailed budget and budget justification should be attached to the SOW.
The Consultant Letter of Commitment form states what specialized expertise and support he/she will be contributing to a specific grant project and includes the consultant fees and time commitment.
At the end of each semester, the PI/PD is responsible to verify and certify the time and effort of all project personnel for that semester. Additionally, the PI/PD's immediate supervisor is required to verify and certify any time and effort expended on the award by the PI/PD. No project personnel may be paid for work under a sponsored award unless their effort is supported by a sponsor-approved budget, and their time and effort has been verified and certified by an appropriate supervisor. If your grant has ended during the last semester, please put the end date of the grant as the end date of your certification. No grant funds may be incurred after the grant performance period has ended.
At the end of each semester, you will certify where your effort was actually expended during the past semester. All employees who work on and charge payroll costs to a sponsored program must complete and submit to OSP one of the two methods listed below at least once per semester (including Summer) within two weeks of the end of the term. The method of effort certification is determined by the employee's FLSA Status.
All FLSA-exempt employees must complete the OSP Time & Effort Activity Reporting Certification Reporting Form.
All FLSA non-exempt employees must complete the UVU Time Information Management System (TIMS) daily data entry. FLSA non-exempt employees who use the TIMS system to enter their work hours will not need to do anything additional to complete this portion of the effort certification requirements.
This manual provides a step-by-step resource for completing the Banner Effort Certification Module.
This form is used to estimate where you expect your effort to be expended during the coming semester. This form will be completed at the beginning of the semester.
This form is used to describe desired purchases using Sponsored Program Funds. Once the form has been submitted, OSP staff will review the request. Once the request has been approved. the PI/PD or their designee will follow the appropriate UVU procurement process to finish the purchase.
This form is required to initiate a formal budget change request from the sponsored
program sponsoring organization through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
Note: All budget revisions must be initiated through the OSP and must be made sufficiently
early so that expenses that are incurred after the revision has been approved by the
sponsor can still meet allocability standards (to advance the work of the sponsored
project). Budget revisions should occur at least two months prior to the closeout of an award.
