The top two cost share challenges seen by the Sponsored Programs Office are …
- Including the Health insurance component in the Cost Share calculation.
- The Health insurance component calculation is prorated to Percent of Effort.
- All of the Health insurance component amount is collected when calculating the Salary within the Salary Cap.
- Cost Share is calculated ONLY on the first year (initial period).
