Frequently Asked Questions

All effort statements are a reflection of 100% of the listed individual's total institutional activity, regardless of their actual FTE. However, each field on an effort statement is rounded to the hundredth's place individually, prior to any grand total being calculated. In some situations, this causes the total "Computed Effort" amount on the statement to stray from 100% by a margin of a couple hundredths of a percent. For the purposes of effort reporting at UW, any amount less than 1% is considered de minimis, and the certification can be completed as is.
